Military PresenceBases are the literal and symbolic anchors, and the most visible

Bases are the literal and symbolic anchors, and the most visible centerpieces, of the U.S. military presence overseas. The level of American involvement in an area in which an opportunity takes
place is perhaps the most visible demonstration of US commitment. US military involvement as defined includes: (1) an established
American military presence, defined as a U.S. military base, (2) the furnishing of military aid to some state or organization, or (3) a
prior use of force. Such investment represents American interest
and obligation to allies, enemies, and neutral parties alike. (2)
