In military contexts, the term is similarly applied. For example, some fire departments may have their headquarters situated within a firehouse to accommodate administrative staff and operational units. Alternatively, many fire departments possess separate headquarters buildings dedicated to administrative functions.
In the United States military, all units within the Army and Marine Corps have designated buildings for their headquarters staff, which handle administrative responsibilities for companies, battalions, regiments, and other units.
In the context of law enforcement, headquarters for agencies in the United States can be found in large buildings located within cities, towns, counties, or states, serving as the central hub for their operations.
