U.S. military bases in the Northern Mariana Islands

The Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the Pacific, host key military bases that support U.S. defense strategies in the Asia-Pacific region. These bases facilitate training exercises, logistical support, and readiness for potential conflicts. The islands serve as a strategic location given their proximity to countries like China and North Korea, enhancing the U.S. military's ability to project power and ensure regional stability. The presence of military installations contributes to local economies and reinforces the U.S. commitment to its allies and national security interests in the Pacific.
