Welcome to the Former Bases Web Site.
Over time, the machines of war elimanated the need for thousands of bases. Man power for ground pounding and "hand to hand" combat were no longer needed, to great extent, and the bases that housed and trained these men were closed. Then, after the Cold War had ended, and due to greater fighting technologies, once again, the "hit list" appeared and many more bases were closed.
This site was built to preserve the rich history and memories of the Former US Bases that existed in the United States and some US Territories over time. This site is working to be the Single Most Complete Encyclopedia of Former U.S. Military Bases of all branches of service. If the base you are searching does not appear on the list, and it is a base that is no longer an active military base, in whole or part, from any era, please make the Webmaster aware of it.
