army bases
Soldiers' home stations
Army bases are military installations where army personnel are stationed, trained, and housed.
A base includes barracks, training facilities, equipment storage, and administrative buildings.
The term applies to permanent installations rather than temporary camps: The army base employed thousands of civilians from the surrounding area.
In casual speech, any military installation may be called a base regardless of branch.
