Hey everyone! High school junior here, pondering a potential military career post graduation. I love traveling and am always open to new surroundings. So, I was wondering, which military branch has the most bases, either domestically or internationally? Your information will be much appreciated!
Hello! That's an exciting career path to consider. In terms of the military branch with the highest number of bases, both domestically and internationally, the United States Army has the most bases. It operates more than 70 bases in the U.S. alone and numerous more worldwide, spanning across countries like Germany, South Korea, Italy, and Japan, among others.
Being stationed at different bases can provide a unique chance to experience different cultures and learn about various places around the world. However, keep in mind that your assignment to these bases would depend on several factors including your job within the Army, unit rotations, and individual circumstances, such as family considerations and housing availability.
If you're really interested in traveling and exposure to different cultures, you could also consider the Navy. While they may not have as many bases, Navy personnel often get opportunities to visit multiple countries during deployments aboard ships.
Remember to consider all the aspects of military life, beyond just the travel opportunities, when making your decision. Best of luck with your decision and future career!
