      As far as I know USA dosn’t have a base in Estonia that only they operate. There are just some American troops here as well as UK troops and other NATO troops in Estonian bases together with Estonian troops.

      I don’t think this map includes the national military bases that the US has free no-questions-asked access to via DCA, like in Sweden 🇸🇪, Denmark 🇩🇰 and Finalnd 🇫🇮 for instance.

      American bases or NATO bases? Because at least in Romania, there are contingents from a number of allies.

      I heard Americans like getting assigned to Germany because guaranteed 3 year stay and easy access to all Schengen countries. Just drive across the border and you’re there.

      If they find a home off base, they can live in German neighborhoods and learn German culture. For them, once in a lifetime oppertunity because it’s like getting an expat job. If Germany closes down, it’s just South Korea, Japan, or Guam left.

      for everyone saying „actually, there are no bases in X“

      US military base sites fall under two main categories:

      Large bases or “Bases”: Defined as military installations larger than 4 hectares (10 acres) or worth more than $10 million. These bases typically have in excess of 200 US military personnel. 439 or 60 percent of the US’s foreign bases fall under this category.

      Small bases or “Lily Pads”: These bases are smaller than 4 hectares(10 acres) or have a value of less than $10 million. These include cooperative security locations and forward operating sites. The remaining 40 percent of US foreign bases fall under this category.

      European countries where these are stationed actually provide Financial assistance. So pulling these troops from Europa is actually gonna raise the Bill for the USA…
      Go figure!

      Got mixed feelings about US „bases“ i Norway.

      US having prepositioned equipment here makes it so that they participate in more exercises and with a larger contingent.

      However there’s a cost-sharing going on. So we are paying for the storage of US equipment. Having US on exercises is also less valuable.

      I’m not going to deny that the USMC holds a high standard but right now it feels like Europe more than anything needs to train on large scale operations without US coordination and support. Are the US increasing the quality of our exercises or do they simply make them less realistic?

      Some of these are nothing burgers. 

      Some like the UK, Germany, Italy, are significant. 

      Some are simply prepositioned supply depot’s without any major staffing.

      Bosnia had a US base that was handed over to the Bosnian Armed Forces in 2007.

      Currently there’s a NATO base/headquarters in Sarajevo. Don’t know what that counts as.

      France also the only one who can say „no“ to US LNG due to the nuclear power plants.
