The possessive case can represent other relationships except the ownership relationship.

The enlistment of soldiers

The arrival of the train

Family support supports the family.

Children's education is the education of children.

(3) indicates modifying the relationship. For example:

doctor's degree

One month's salary

Omission of possessive case

(1) indicates a place noun such as a clinic, a shop or someone's home, and the modifiers after the possessive case of the noun are often omitted. For example:

(2) Words modified by the possessive case of nouns can usually be omitted to avoid repetition if they have been mentioned before. For example:

The flashlight is not mine, but Jack's. ? The flashlight is not mine, but Jack's.
