A military base is a facility directly owned and operated by or one of its branches that shelters military equipment and personnel, and facilitates training and operations.

Jurisdictional definition

Bases are usually extra-legal jurisdictions not subject to civil law. They can range from small outposts to military cities containing up to 100,000 people. Some military bases may belong to a different nation or state than the territory surrounding it.

Fort Jefferson in Florida in the United States is an example of a military base although no particular size or layout is typical. Fort Jefferson is no longer in use and is currently part of the Dry Tortugas National Park.

Is there a website where you can buy cheap equipment from the military bases?
Q. I'm trying to find some night vision goggles, I've heard there's a discount website associated with a US military base where you can buy them cheap. thanks for any help.

A. To get into the website of military auctions, (I have been to many), you actually have to buy a crate. Whats in their is mystery. You have to know somone, in the DOD, that is currently running the warehouse. Also if you want a pair of NVG's without having to buy a huge crate full of unknowns, the go to and you can buy them here or any other military website such as rangerjoes.com

According to the 14th Ammendment, military bases are not considered US soil?
Q. Therefore, why is McCains birth place not considered an issue to MCain supporters? Embassies and consulates ARE considered US soil but military bases are considered leased land from the host country. In addition, why are you all questioning Obamas birth location when several presidential candidates were not actually born on US soil. (though Obama was)

A. Interesting, I will have too look at this. Although I think Panama was a "US Colony(?)" (for a lack of a better term) with regards to the Canal. More investigating is required. Amazing how the Mccain supporters just want to Blow this off.

Are people born on foreign military bases issued actual birth certificates?
Q. I'm trying to find my 41 year old husbands birth certificate from the now Spain run military base. Thanks
Asked by M G - Wed Aug 20 17:50:15 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes, there's an actual birth certificate and a Declaration of citizenship. I was born on base in England. I have a birth certifcate from the base hospital and the Declaration of Citizenship. Samanatha gave good instructions on how to get that. I normally provide my declaration of citizenship when asked for a birth certificate.
