# Patrol Barracks

[The building book](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/patrol-barracks)

A small bunkhouse for a village that wants a few soldiers.

The Patrol Barracks is the smallest soldier house: one warden at the post, room for two more soldiers on the roster, and a drill yard that fits a six-by-six-metre plot. It trains guards and archers exactly as the larger houses do.

## Make room for it.

Give it a connected door and a little room for the rack and target beside it. It is the soldier house to reach for when the village is still tight for space.

## Improvements & appearance.

This building has no tier improvement in the current rules. Inspect it to see the maintenance and appearance options available in your build.

## If something seems stuck.

An unstaffed barracks trains nobody, and a soldier leaves their old job while they serve. If the roster is full, a larger soldier house raises it further.

## Good neighbours.
