Stationing of troops; garrisoning. The deployment and long-term presence of military forces in a specific location, especially in a foreign country.

Used as both a noun and a する-verb (駐留する). Typically refers to a prolonged military presence, as in the case of US forces stationed in Japan (米軍の駐留). The term carries significant political weight in discussions about national sovereignty, alliances, and the Japan–US Status of Forces Agreement (日米地位協定). Distinguished from 占領 (occupation), which implies conquest.
