Military cantonment

A military cantonment is a designated area where armed forces, such as soldiers, officers, and support staff, are housed, trained, and organized. It functions as a secure, controlled zone with facilities like housing, training grounds, administrative offices, and other infrastructure necessary for military operations. Cantonments ensure disciplined living, efficient training, and readiness of troops, while also providing a safe environment. They are usually separate from civilian areas to maintain security and operational effectiveness. Essentially, a cantonment is a specialized base that supports the functioning and preparedness of the military.
