Someone did have a complete list of many military installations around the globe, especially United States, but I guess they deleted them. So, I take their place in providing you a list of military bases.

What you have labled as MCB Camp LeJeune is incorrect.
Notice the capital 'J' also.
I don't think the General would appreciate that.

Excellent post! A couple of references for AF bases are http://www.airforcebase.net/usaf/joeslist.html , and http://www.airforcebase.net/ .
Just as a matter of information, virtually all USAF bases in the UK were called RAF bases (I realize you may already know this....) Examples: RAF Lakenheath, RAF Fairford, RAF Sculthorpe, RAF Brize Norton, RAF Wethersfield, etc.
What we were always told is that the Queen (the Crown--the blokes,) actually own the land--that was the reasoning. The one exception I know about was High Wycombe. There was a RAF High Wycombe, and a USAF High Wycombe. The latter was on Daws Hill. A non-flying base, incidentally.
More bits of squit: RAF Booker, a long-closed real RAF base, was the site for the filming of "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines." Filmed in the early 60s. It's a humorous look at at the England-to-France flying competition from about 1910. Video's available, and worth tracking down if you like seeing early flying machines. Sarah Miles isn't too shabby, either...

The location you show for the New London CT Sub Base is incorrect - you've actually marked the Electric Boat shipyard where subs are built. The Sub base is a few klicks upriver, north of the Gold Star Memorial Bridge.

The place you identified as Little Creek Amphibious Base is really Fort Story, an Army installation

Fleet Activities Yokosuka's a few miles too far south. It's actually on the big peninsula to the north ... the one with the aircraft carrier docked at it.

Thanks for re-doing the list ,but I found an error. Lajes Field (not a USAF base because it is Portuguese Air Force (I think it was called Fuerza Aeronaves Portugal) is on the EAST end ofthe island of Terceira, next to Lajes village, and just North of Praia da Vittoria. And, Praia is the location of the U.S. Army TTU Terceira.
I'm really NOT being critical (you did a lot of work to duplicate this list!), but I am pushing accuracy.
