How to use garrison in a sentence?

1. Alexander Zakharchenko:

   While we still have time before the spring, new detachments will be able to receive military training, we expect mobilization to yield at least five additional brigades five motorized brigades, one artillery brigade and a tank brigade. The Ukrainian rearguard for the Debaltseve front in Artemivsk, the home of one of the country's best-selling sparkling wines, looks increasingly like a garrison town. Auto-mechanics and tire shops have seen a sharp pick-up in business repairing damaged vehicles brought in by soldiers. Abandoned Soviet-era plants have been converted into bases. The local stadium is used as a landing pad for helicopters ferrying out the wounded. Many troops are nervous, jumpy and ill-tempered. On Wednesday, a group of irregulars detained a group of international journalists in the center and threatened to escort them out of the town if they took pictures of military equipment. The cannonades are fainter in Artemivsk, but they can still be heard. The significance of that is lost on few.

2. The US statement:

   The visual inspection occurred to ensure the safety of coalition personnel at At Tanf garrison. Once the F-15 pilot identified the aircraft as a Mahan Air passenger plane, the F-15 safely opened distance from the aircraft, the professional intercept was conducted in accordance with international standards.

3. Garrison Keillor:

   It’s some sort of poetic irony to be knocked off the air by a story, having told so many of them Garrison Keillor, but I ’m 75 and don’t have any interest in arguing about this. And I can not in conscience bring danger to a great organization I’ve worked hard for since 1969, a person could not hope for more than what I was given.

4. Michael Kofman:

   The big question is why are units from the Central Military District 3,000 miles from their garrison hanging around for the winter ? it is difficult to find an innocuous explanation for the military activity that's been taking place.

5. Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed:

   We have a military garrison in Garissa, and the work began immediately after the attack was reported and continued for a number of hours until we were able to rescue 663 students of the 800 students that had been taken hostage by these terrorists. So the response was adequate, we did everything that we could do.
