About This Installation
APPEARS NOT IN USE: Approximately 100 troops were based at old U.S. embassy in Monrovia despite Ebola epidemic's end.
💡 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. Monrovia and surrounding in Liberia is one of these installations.
