About This Installation
Lajes Field, Azores has been key air base in Europe since Cold War; now also supports Air Force's Africa operations.
💡 Why Does This Matter?
The United States maintains approximately 750 military bases in over 80 countries — more than any nation in world history. The annual cost of maintaining overseas bases exceeds $55 billion.
Critics argue that many overseas bases are Cold War relics that increase tensions, provoke "blowback," and drain resources from domestic needs. Supporters say they deter aggression and protect allies. Agualva Munitions Storage Annex Air Force Active Lajesfield in Portugal is one of these installations.
