Diego Garcia (military base)

Diego Garcia is a remote atoll in the Indian Ocean that hosts a strategic U.S. military base. It operates as a key logistical and operational hub for international military activities, especially for the U.S. and its allies. The base includes facilities for aircraft, surveillance, and communication, enabling rapid response and global reach. Managed primarily by the United Kingdom under a lease agreement with the U.S., Diego Garcia's location allows for significant influence over regional security and maritime navigation. It is not inhabited by local residents, but by military personnel and civilian contractors supporting these critical operations.
