Bibliography on military basesFeel free to add to this list.
US to significantly increase US security assistance for African countriesThe budget request submitted to Congress by the Obama administration for FY 2010 proposes significant increases in U.S. security assistance programs for African countries. This suggests that, at least initially, the Obama administration is following the course laid down for the new Africa Command by the Bush administration, rather than putting these programs on hold until it can conduct a serious review of U.S. security policy towards Africa. For more information, see the Summary and Highlights for International Affairs Function 150: Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Request (http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/122513.pdf).

US DoD Base Structure Report 2007The Base Structure Report is the most insightful source on US military presence around the World. In the 2007 REport, the DoD lists 909 military facilities in other countries and territories. Please be advised though, that the Report does not include:
- Temporary facilities (such as all military facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan)
- Very small or 'cheap' sites.
- Some facilities that are not owned by US forces but property of the 'host' government. This is the case with seversal NATO deployments in Europe.
- Several known bases whose locations are undisclosed due to 'national security reasons'. US military presences in the Philippines and Israel are examples.

Unconventional Warfare: Are US Special Forces Engaged in an ‘Offensive War’ in the Philippines? Since January 2002, US Special Operations Forces (SOFs) have been stationed in the southern Philippines and have not left since then. Their deployment has significant implications for issues of peace and security in the southern Philippines, on democracy in the country and its sovereignty, on the geo-political balance in the region, and on the US’ global military posture. But – because of domestic historical factors and the current balance of political forces – it is on the claim that the US Special Forces are not engaged in “actual combat” that their continuing presence in the Philippines seem to stand. The report however finds that the US troops may not only be waging war within the Philippines, they may also established a new form of U.S. bases in the country.
Citizens Peace Watch report on US military basing in the PhilippinesThe Citizens’ Peace Watch fact-finding mission to Zamboanga City and Sulu from February 18-21 found proof reinforcing concerns that the US has established military basing in the Philippines; the US is involved in actual combat operations in the country; the US military has, in complicity with the Philippine military, committed human rights violations in the Philippines; the US is conducting operations outside the control of the Philippine government and military; the US military’s so-called humanitarian projects are mere cover for military operations that do not benefit the local population; US basing and intervention in the country is contributing to insecurity and leading to an escalation in conflict
'At the Door of all the East': The Philippines in United States Military StrategyThis report seeks to document and explain why and how the United States has been attempting to re-establish its military presence in the Philippines in the period beginning in 2001. Diverging from the common explanation attributing increased US military presence in the country to the so-called “global war on terror,” this report instead locates US actions in the Philippines and in the Asia-Pacific region in the larger context of the US’ objectives and strategy.
