Put the consulates and embassies aside for a moment.

How many non-US military bases are inside US territory?

Holy sh***, that made my blood run cold when I read that.

(going to my favorite search engine...sew what I find)

LOL! You'll find NOTHING! The foreign "military bases " in USA are a dream. Look for "corporative bases" in USA's territory. The new geopolitical war is a production & economics war, so for example look for japanese, german, chinese, korean "corporative bases", and you'll find what you're looking for.

The real question would be:

How many are off the grid that can never be found?

Who they trying to kid?

We're a conveniently placed aircraft carrier and surveillance station, nothing more, and I for one would not shed a tear if they packed up went home!


Lakenheath and Mildenhall are UK bases and rightly titled RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall. An RAF Commander is present at both bases. Just because they host US units does not make them US bases. They are simply guests of the UK under the US Visiting Forces Act.

The bases and units are also declared to NATO and operate under the mandate NATO Status of Forces Agreement and the visiting forces acts.

The likes of RAF Lakenheath also provide NATO with a tactical nuclear strike capability. The UK did away with that capability in the late 1990s leaving the US as the sole provider of tactical nuclear capability to NATO. The US also provide that dual tactical nuclear weapon capability with other NATO nations. The NATO tactical nuclear weapons capability is still part of NATO doctrine so it still remains even though it has been reduced over the last decade. That is why F-15Es and the nuclear weapons storage igloos remain at RAF Lakenheath.
