Military bases are installations operated by the U.S. Armed Forces that house troops, families, and support infrastructure for national defense operations. These installations also provide services to active duty personnel, veterans, and their families including healthcare, housing, education, and commissary benefits.

There are 52 states with Military Base locations across the United States. The Department of Defense operates more than 800 military installations domestically, spanning Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force facilities.

Common Services

Service members and families relocating to a new installation (PCS) should contact the gaining installation's Family Support Center early in the process to arrange housing, school enrollment, and base access credential processing before arrival.

About Military Base

Military installations are operated under the authority of the respective branch of the Armed Forces and are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and Department of Defense directives. Base commanders have broad authority over installation access, operations, and community programs.

Common Services

Veterans with questions about benefits or VA healthcare should visit their nearest VA facility rather than a military installation — most base services are reserved for active duty, reserve, and retired military personnel and their dependents.
