The Battle for Fort Dunstad[]

In the Imperial Legion questline, Legate Rikke tells the Dragonborn to help the Imperial Legion take Fort Dunstad from the Stormcloaks.

If the Dragonborn sided with the Stormcloaks, the fort will be infested with bandits when first entered. Lower level characters will find a skeever fighting pit run by bandits.

Clearing it before taking a side in the Skyrim Civil War will allow it to be garrisoned by Stormcloaks upon next visit to the fort, but once a side is picked, the fort will remained occupied by bandits, unless sided with the Imperial Legion, then it will be automatically garrisoned by Stormcloaks after the Battle for Whiterun.
