land base
Shore support facility
Land base refers to the territory or geographic foundation that supports a community, organization, or operation.
For Indigenous peoples, it specifically means ancestral lands essential to cultural survival and sovereignty: The tribe is working to restore its land base.
In military and logistical contexts, a land base is a ground installation supporting operations, as distinct from sea or air bases.
The term also appears in environmental discussions about the acreage needed to sustain a population or ecosystem.
