Fort Assinniboine, Military fort in Hill County, Montana, United States.
Fort Assinniboine contains over 100 buildings across its grounds, making it one of the largest military installations in Montana's territorial period.
The United States Army established Fort Assinniboine in 1879 following the Great Sioux War to maintain order and protect settlers in the northern Montana Territory.
The 10th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, African-American troops, maintained their headquarters at Fort Assinniboine from 1892, contributing to military operations and border control.
The Northern Agricultural Research Center, operated by Montana State University, now occupies the fort grounds and conducts agricultural studies in the region.
Lieutenant John Pershing commanded troops at Fort Assinniboine before rising to lead the American Expeditionary Force during World War I.
