About This Installation
Army bases in Schinnen and Brunnsum have been named "enduring communities" in the Benelux area.
💡 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.
