What military bases are there in the United States?

After World War II, the United States has a military presence almost all over the world, and has established more than 5,000 military bases around the world (nearly half of which are overseas). After the end of the Cold War, the number of American military bases has been greatly reduced due to the changes in the international situation, the adjustment of American military strategy and the opposition of the people in the host countries. At present, there are 374 overseas military bases in the United States, distributed in 140 countries and regions, with 300,000 troops; There are 87/kloc-0 local bases, including 242 naval bases and 384 air bases.

From a strategic point of view, the distribution of American overseas military bases can be divided into three strategic regions and 14 base groups. Three strategic regions, namely Europe, the Middle East and North Africa; Asia, Pacific and Indian Ocean; North and South America.
