List of United States military bases abroad

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below are the military bases of the United States Armed Forces listed abroad. The military bases are assigned to certain US areas of responsibility (AR), according to which the US has divided the world. According to its own information, the United States had 761 military facilities of all branches of the armed forces (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps) abroad in 2008. This is 14% of a total of 5,429 facilities. The total number of bases that the USA can fall back on at any time is higher, however, as there are bases for which only rights of use have been agreed, but on which no American soldiers are currently stationed, as well as several military bases, for example in Afghanistan and Iraq Statistics are not included. In 2004, experts estimated the total number of bases the United States could fall back on at around 1,000.
