Fort Apache is, metaphorically, a building, complex, or defensive site providing shelter from hostile action in the form of crime (in police drama) or native insurrection/enemy attack (in John Ford movies).

The metaphor is now used by police and military to refer to a post which is beset/besieged. Actual examples may be found recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.^{[citation needed]}
