 * Did you read the article? "British soldiers have been training alongside their Japanese counterparts in a bilateral war game exercise in Gunma prefecture in central Japan."
 * "This partnership began in October 2018 when the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) trained with the Japanese Ground Self Defence Force on the slopes of Mount Fuji for the first Vigilant Isles exercise. Other than the Americans, no foreign troops had ever conducted military exercises on Japanese soil"
 * A week long exercise for the first time in 4 years is not an overseas military base. It's simply a training exercise.
 * You don't live at disneyland if you go on vacation there for a week. Dolphinwaxer (talk) 13:05, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

DUQM

Duqm is a developing port situated approximately 500km south of Muscat. Important to the economic development of Oman, its location makes it strategically useful for the UK, US and others: it will facilitate maritime basing east of Suez but outside of the Gulf, including a dry dock capability able to accommodate submarines and QEII Class aircraft carriers.

Bermuda
The map seems to show that the UK has a military base in Bermuda, but the last military installation closed in 1995. I can't edit the map but if someone has the technical skills, that could be a good thing to fix. Galteglise (talk) 10:21, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
