About This Installation
Special forces Forward Operating Base Jolo in Sulu is 1 of several bases now used by U.S. troops.
💡 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. SF FOB Jolo, Sulu (CSL) in Philippines is one of these installations.
