The number of occupying military personnel in these bases is around 180 thousand, including 60-70 thousand in the Middle East.
Although the US has had military bases closed in many regions in recent years, it currently has around 800 bases, some small radar bases and some the size of a city. The cost of sustaining these bases is over $ 200 billion. The value of US bases in fiscal 2018 is US $ 749 billion, according to US Department of Defense data.
ONE-THIRD OF OCCUPIERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
US bases include all occupying US military structures under the Ministry of Defense, from enemy surveillance points to naval replenishment points, training bases to radar bases. The number of military personnel in these bases is around 180 thousand, including 60-70 thousand in the Middle East. These figures are particularly important given the fact that countries with a fixed base in other countries have a total of 17 countries and a total of around 70 countries.
TURKEY RANKS NINTH!
Most countries during the US base in Turkey ranks ninth with nine military restructuring. The largest and most known military restructuring the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. Founded in the 1950s, after Turkey's accession to NATO bases belonging to the US Air Force's troops and doing about 2 thousand 500 staff on duty.
US DOES NOT LEAVE BASES
The main reason why the number of US bases is so high is that the US rarely abandons the base established in a country. One example is the US base in Germany, Ramstein. The US-based base established in 1949 after the Second World War still serves as the US Air Force base and is the largest US base outside the US territory with 53,000 personnel.
