Talk:List of American military installations

Lists or tables?

This article has both. Perhaps we should just go with one format or the other? Thoughts? - wolf 21:52, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

I would go with tables, so they can be sorted on different columns. I think it would be helpful if by default this list was by-country, and also comprehensive. There are already separate lists for by-service sorting, though with tables those might be merged into this list. -- Beland (talk) 08:08, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I think this needs to be updated.

For example, Colombia shows no US military bases, but I believe the country has 9 US military bases, there--or so I read (previously 7).2601:645:8300:C50F:A97D:EB88:5394:A681 (talk) 08:05, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Feel free to update the article, or post an edit request, if you have a source to support your info. - wolf 12:02, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

The world map is wrong

The map is inconsistent with the listing in the article. Notable, Brazil does not have a US base. hawck (talk) 21:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

The map was created in 2016 when United States Naval Support Detachment, São Paulo was still active. You need to go to Commons and put in a request to have the map updated. - wolf 21:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

If the map was created in 2016 then why does it include the Panama Canal Zone which was given up in 1999? Or the Philippines Subic Base which was closed in 1992? The entire map is at least 30 years out of date. 47.156.229.134 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:00, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

it's not only inconsistent, it's also just wrong, the lack of guam means there is no period of time for which this is an accurate map. 68.32.78.11 (talk) 11:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

It looks like the brief WWII-era occupation of Clipperton Island is included. That island has had no permanent residents since 1945. Is this meant to be a map of anywhere the U.S. has ever had a military base? Shpowell (talk) 03:38, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

The map was uploaded by NuclearVacuum. I just now pinged them to notify them of this thread, though I'm not sure if we'll recieve a timely response, (if at all), as they haven't edited since May 2021. fyi - wolf 05:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Ukraine

The US has recently opened a military base in Ukraine.49.178.138.113 (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

No they have not. Perhaps you can cite a source? Or are you talking about the 100,000+ troops and dozens of ballistic missiles Russia currently has on their border? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.156.229.134 (talk) 00:55, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Guam-Foreign or Domestic?

In the sections regarding United States Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force, Guam is listed under foreign nations containing American bases. However, this cannot be true due to the fact that Guam is a U.S. territory, and part of the United States of America. If Washington D.C. is considered to contain domestic bases, why are bases on Guam foreign? This should be updated or a reason why Guam bases are foreign presented to prevent confusion. 98.144.112.162 (talk) 02:58, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

This has been updated to reflect that Guam is domestic and not foreign. Garuda28 (talk) 03:30, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Regarding the Coloration of Niger

The recent government of Niger has ordered the United States military to cease their presence within the country.

Naval Air Station North Island

I moved NAS North Island from California Army Bases to California Naval Bases. If there was some reason for this placement that I'm not aware of, feel free to revert. — ★Parsa ☞ talk 05:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
