The Garrisons are shown on the map with a fort NATO symbol. The NATO symbol tooltip shows information about the fort and its garrison.

When the garrison is selected, you can see additional information about the fort’s weapons in the Unit Panel, in the tooltip for Guns. Garrisons are not affected by Readiness.

When constructed, forts will automatically get a small Garrison. The Garrisons can be reinforced by positioning additional units in the fort. The larger the garrison, the longer the fort will fight when besieged. See the maximum garrison size in the fort’s tooltip.
