Originally a small infantry post, it becomes the headquarters of the 7th Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer in 1873. The fort’s mission is to protect settlers moving westward, safeguard the Northern Pacific Railway, and provide a strategic base for military operations. Its presence is crucial in enforcing federal control as America advances into the vast frontier.
