Find Your Next Base: List of Military Installations by State
There are thousands of U.S. military bases all over the world. Because of security concerns, the federal government won’t release an exact number, but there may be as many as 4500 bases within the United States.
The list below does not include all 4,500 of those bases as many are National Guard or Reserve bases with minimal activity except during drill weekends, mobilizations, deployments, or exercises.
List of Military Bases and Installations By State
This guide includes all major Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force bases in the U.S. as well as those in Alaska and Hawaii, even though those are technically “OCONUS” or outside the “contiguous 48 states”.
