All forts are posts but not all posts are forts. A post is merely an installation. So, way back when I was in the reserves, when I worked out of an office building, we were at a military post, but definately not a fort.

In the Army a Fort is usually the name. Sometimes it's Camp if it's a smaller facility. A single building is called an Armory.
A Post is just an Army Military Fort.
The Army calls them Posts.
The Marines call them Camps.
The Air Force calls them Bases.
The Navy........ don't know what the navy calls them. Harbors maybe?

a post is a small building, houses up to 20 men, not designed for any serious defense.
a fort is a small fortress (or a semi-independent part of a fortress) can house hundreds or thousands of men and artillery. Definetly intended for serious, long term defense.
Sometimes these terms are "honorific"- meaning they are part of the name of a military installation but have no real military (defensive) value
