Talk:List of former United States Army installations

Indiana
If we're including National Guard facilities, then Indiana has Camp Atterbury. --69.245.192.52 05:16, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Active only?
If this list is only active Army posts, it ought to say so. If it includes historical posts also, it ought to say so. Luxomni 00:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe there should be two sections - one for active and one for historical. That would fulfill both needs. At least put an asterisk by closed posts. 72.77.66.99 (talk) 01:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

I like this approach of having two sections, one for active and one for historical. --Jmbranum (talk) 03:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Just added Camp Lemonier, Djibouti
Though command of the Camp was handed over from the USMC to the Navy in 2006, the U.S. Army has a contingent present on the base. Just a thought, but there are going to be many more cross-service installations around the world with the new Pentagon strategy of Cooperative Security Locations and Forward Operating Sites. --Petercorless 07:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Missing Camps
This is no way a complete list, there's lots of camps missing from the list, what about camps in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the gulf area, they only mention installations in kuwait, i'll add some--Darko3d (talk) 22:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Camp Pendleton
Somebody messed this one up; Camp Pendleton is not in Virginia - it's near San Diego. I don't know just how much the Army does there, but they sure don't commute between states daily! 67.186.21.23 (talk) 17:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Pendleton is a USMC base. Seems to me this list should only contain installations operated primarily by the Army and not those they simply have a presence at. Nsbendel (talk) 19:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)


 * There was and is a Camp Pendleton (Virginia) Army base, started prior to WWI, VA National Guard since WWII. RobDuch (talk·contribs) 05:07, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Camp Dawson
The main article for Camp Dawson says it's located in New Jersey, not West Virginia. Something needs to be reconciled. 67.186.21.23 (talk) 17:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Timeline / Scope
What are the acceptable dates for this list? There are a lot of abandoned U.S. Army sites all over the world, but especially across the nation. Some U.S. towns and cities started as Army outposts or supply depots. A lot of Army forts were built for a specific purpose, and some only stood for a number of years before they were no longer needed. I'm just trying to get a feel for the scope of this article. Are we trying to build a comprehensive list of every place the Army has been? What are the criteria we use to determine whether a camp/fort/outpost makes the list?

 * I'll give two examples. Fort Recovery, Ohio held a garrison for approximately 3 years.  There was a battle there, Soldiers are buried there, but it was abandoned before Ohio became a state.  Today it's a museum and a town.  Fort Washington was constructed in 1776 but captured by the British just months later.  It's now a park.  Do either of these belong on the list of former Army installations? Canute (talk) 14:52, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
