Foundations of army garrisons (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bases

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'foundations' is the first definition.
('basis' can be a synonym of 'foundation')

'army garrisons' is the second definition.
(army bases)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bases that I've seen before include "On which things stand" , "Supporting layers" , "Bottoms" , "Foundations" , "Fundaments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
