Italy – Naval and Air Force bases (e.g., Aviano, Naples).
United Kingdom – Several Air Force bases, including RAF Lakenheath.
Poland – Increasing troop presence under NATO initiatives.
Romania, Bulgaria, and the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) – Rotational deployments, NATO reassurance.
Japan – One of the largest overseas deployments; includes Okinawa and Yokota Air Base.
South Korea – Large presence (~28,000 troops) as a deterrent against North Korea.
Guam – Strategic U.S. territory with significant naval and air assets.
Philippines & Australia – Rotational deployments and training agreements.
Turkey – Incirlik Air Base, strategic for Middle East operations.
Kuwait – Major logistical and support hub.
Qatar – Al Udeid Air Base, key for CENTCOM operations.
