About This Installation

“Temporary” base has existed at Palmerola since 1982; some suspect base’s involvement in 2009 military coup.

💡 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. Soto Cano/Palmerola in Honduras is one of these installations.
