长期以来,美军在其本土建立了大量的军事基地,近500个主要基地星罗棋布遍及全国。近年来,由于美军的一系列战略调整,军队规模逐年缩减,国防部提出了撤并某些军事基地的要求。1988年至1995年,美军先后进行了四轮基地调整行动,撤并了国内的97个基地。目前,国会已经批准,于2005年实施新一轮的关闭军事基地行动。然而,如今的军事基地不再是单纯意义上的军事目标,每个基地与其所在各州的利益更加息息相关,这就决定了美军基地撤并之路愈加坎坷。
For a long time, the U.S. military has established a large number of military bases in its homeland and nearly 500 major bases are all over the country. In recent years, due to a series of strategic readjustments by the U.S. military, the size of the military has been declining each year, and the Department of Defense has put forward the demand for the withdrawal of certain military bases. From 1988 to 1995, the U.S. military carried out four rounds of base adjustment operations and removed 97 bases in the country. At present, Congress has approved and implemented a new round of military base closures in 2005. However, today's military bases are no longer purely military targets. Each base is more closely linked to the interests of the states in which it operates. This determines the more bumpy road to U.S. military bases' merger.
