A military base is a facility directly owned and operated by and/or for the military or one of its branches that shelters military equipment and personnel, and facilitates training and operations. Jurisdictional definitionBases 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.From Wikipedia under the

Can a police officer or FBI arrest a soldier from the military base, or they can't because of the jurisdiction? Asked by Jake - Sun Jan 27 21:33:30 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. "from" the base? Sure. On the base, the local cop has no authority but the FBI sure does. If the local cop wanted to arrest a soldier who was on the base, for a crime committed in town, he cannot just drive in an get him, but it takes about 2 seconds to get the cooperation of the MPs. If the soldier committed a crime on the base but was in town, the crime on the base is of no concern to the local cop as it is not a violation of state or local law. If the soldier committed the crime in town, and was found in town, he can be arrested and committed to the local jail. That will also make him AWOL from the base. So, once the locals get done, the military gets him on the AWOL.

Q. what could be our Govt's interest in setting up a military base in the Dominican Republic? Asked by g1ng3r - Fri Jun 5 11:10:33 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well just a thought but if I was the govt,I would want a military base anywhere and everywhere possible. It not only seems like more of a deterrent but it lessons risk in a certain point of view when it's one more target that would have to be destroyed to disable your defenses.Plus it gives you another place that might be closer to whatever is going on in that particular area which increases efficiency not to mention it can pad a contractors pockets and insure support from those groups with lobbyists that support them.I'm sure there are other reasons too but just can't think of them Answered by Nick A, Name - Fri Jun 5 13:36:39 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Military base"
