Are you aware of all the military bases the United States operates around the world?

Asked by msh (4270points) January 9th, 2016 from iPhone

The United States, and several of its allies are currently using United States military bases around the world in their strategies for maintaining a presence in the conflict in the Middle East ( et.al.)
Most of these bases are not often mentioned nor are they thought of readily when considering where various aggressive missions, troop deployments, and strategical data gathering, occur that the public are made aware of in these operations.
Should we in the US, and again, our allies who also facilitate their military participation and strategies at said bases, be concerned about the safety, cost, or possible takeovers of these locations, with the spread of Isis and it’s affiliates throughout the world?
In some countries we currently are operating these bases, Isis training camps are located within the borders of the same country. Does this make a difference for the operations or concerns we should have concerning our interests in the areas and countries?

Should you wish to see the placement of Military Bases of the US, and joint allied agreements with said bases, please use the following comprehensive article:
