Why Does California Have So Many Military Bases?

😮😮

why are you showing footage from Nevada in a video about California?

California the Biggest most Western American Mainland State on the Pacific Coast outside of Smaller Pacific States like Hawaii or the other US Islands. Of course it’s going have a large Military foot print.

Them punks don't care bout immigrants dying at border ?

The DoD better move them into the interior U.S., especially in valleys and mountain basins. That’s what China is doing now. Disperse these assets and resources.

That’s crazy for a liberal state

It's called classified.
We don't need to know everything!
For a reason,it's not always treason.
In God We Trust!
What kinda defense would we have if everyone knows what , where, and when!
Unfortunately traitors have have tainted the American dream with selfish insecure control issues.

Well Cali is the first in the bear menu after taken out the nuclear states.

To transport all the illegal drugs💯

If it ain’t raining we ain’t training!!

More military spending asap bro we need to b the strongest countrie in the world

It is I think a legacy of world war and the pacific struggle against the Japanese empire. That accounts for this in part.

It is because there is almost 40m people. You dont ever want these people to have assault rifles and banana clips.

I am frequently told that it used to be because of the climates and hr weather. Now I’m told its to give presidents the options to manage the rampant problems in Cali that the President will need to fix.

Stay out of California Trump!

Kitsap County, WA has more military bases in the county then any county in the US.

I wonder how all these military operations would be impacted if California were broken up into several smaller states.

We have to protect our west coast.

Hmmm maybe because it's on the same side as CHINA and RUSSIA? Macgyver took a whole video.

are you counting reserve bases in that? in 91, there was a massive cutback where they closed all kinds of bases...big bases too. ft ord, castle air force base, navy basic training in san diego, hunters point nas and most other bases in the bay area. many bases in sacramento and so on.ft ord??? castle air force base?? the navy basic training base?? sac bases and army division hq's are no longer needed? under the guise of closing out old pony express waypoints and such...they closed down all these bases i mentioned and many more.

Military has gotta have someplace to hide all those drugs coming in from Mexico and Vietnam and China

im from california and these bases shouldn’t be here this is a local state not a military operation

Then Silicon Valley is also better protected.

study the works of combat veterans Smedley Darlington Butler, Howard Zinn, Ron Kovic, Oliver Stone that reveals the evil deeds of the military especially the monetary financial resources masters

Pearl Harbor

What about China lake naval base?

111-22-24 In 20-20 hind sight its now painfully clear that that BRAC cut way to deep in Calif now that we are faced with Biden's stupid confrontaton with China over Tiawan in the pacific. As Gen Douglas McArther once said "never engage in a land war with the Asia". The good news is that Trump doesn't do war like the Dems and China loaned us $800 Billion dollars at 4% interest. Not a good idea to get into a confrontation with the U.S.and maybe kiss off $800 Billion. bucks

Actually CA used to have far more bases than it does now, some were pretty well known and some that have completely forgotten about. The Air Force alone lost several big installations to BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) in 1992-94 including George (Victorville), Mather (Sacramento), Norton (San Bernadino), and McClellan (Sacramento). The USMC had MCASs El Toro and Tustin which were merged into now MCAS Miramar which used to belong to the Navy and was the home of Top Gun (and the West Coast F-14 RAG). The Army also lost several bases including Fort Ord and Fort MacArthur. But not only have many bases closed in CA but many of the ones still open shrunk significantly and the overall military presence here is a fraction of what it was, and gone with them some of the best air shows in the country!

Talking about CA bases and shows footage of Red Flag in Vegas

Good thing they can help with the deportation process and Incase they need to retake California to the United States lol

They are hiding something under all of them

Because we're the 3rd largest state with the biggest population and best weather in the country, of course it's gonna have a lot of military bases

Because California is biggest state in the country (close to Pacific Ocean and Asia)

Yeah, Football World Cup comes to America 2026, US plans to win it.

Nobody ax yu

by the wat Huemene is prouunced Y-knee-me!!

All other states hating on CA. BUT at the end is a major support in the USA

Michigan is close to Illinois. Navy.

San Diego have more more than four military bases. They got a lot of base around San Diego county

Because the state is HUGE and it takes up most of the west coast.

Too bad Ca. Is ruled by Newsom, not its residents.

I loved it when i was at tiny but gorgous long beach navy base to my former homeport of uss new jersey bb62. 1984 to 86 i lived in long beach.

It makes sense, if you want to invade the United States California has deep water ports you need to support an invading army. If you can also take Los Angeles there would be a huge loss to the American economy which would weaken any war effort. Having bases in California makes this impossible.

RESPECT UNDER GROUND GOLD,LITHEM.

RESPECT 3 PRYMID,S,GOLD,LITHEM.

Didnt mention N.T.C., spent 30 days in the "DustBowl" with the 24th Infantry Division (signal btn) 63b thank you (Ft Irwin)

So we can succeed from the Union and still have a strong army and navy.
We should really get Oregon and Washington to sign on to lock down the entire lower western coastline.
