Fort Bragg is the largest US Army base in terms of population. Located west of Fayetteville in North Carolina, the base is home to the 82nd Airborne.
After independence, the bases were allowed to remain, with the most important being the Subic Bay naval base and Clark Airbase, both located north of Manila. These became the largest U.S. overseas military bases in the world, but were damaged by the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption.
