Union Army Post

Union Army Post 

 Any Union Army installation that is not designated as a Fort. Size, location, design and other details all vary with the mission of the main unit assigned there. In general, i nstallations in hostile areas are termed forts, as are the Army's training sites. Defense locations such as Kappa VIII, and planetary garrisons are termed posts.

 As the Union Army goes to great length that nothing it controls is described using any words that could have naval background or be associated with the Navy, the Army uses the terms “fort” and “post” exclusively.
