15 MILITARY BASES in Remote Locations

Video Overview & Insights

War—what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need military bases. Even in times of peace, amazing feats are accomplished within these walls. Some are home to the fastest jets the world has ever seen, while others are hidden away in mountains like they were in a Bond film. And many of them don’t ever want to be found! So, join us for today’s video, where we countdown the top 15 amazing military bases in remote locations!

With #10, Eareckson AS, I served 16 months, 4 days and 12 hours on "The Rock" when it was Shemya AFB back in the early 1970's as an enlisted member of the US Army Security Agency. Interesting times. I would like to return for a short visit. A very SHORT visit...

Give a whole lot of information and then say most of of the operation is confidential I'm honestly surprised set this video has not been flagged just forgiving the information of where some of these places are or is it public records teach me that's why I'm here

Great selection, thank you. I received orders to Korea and chose retirement instead. My billeting office told me that if I withdrew my retirement for any reason there was an unfilled MI Officer billet at Diego Garcia that had my reservations confirmed. I've always heard Thule pronounced Too Lee. Wow Pine Gap and you showed picture of USASA Field Station Berlin.

I was in the third Seabee Battalion stationed on Diego Garcia in 1973 MCB74 and believe me it was no paradise. We worked 6 days a week in temps. of over 115 degrees and I was a welder making it even hotter. I was elated to leave!

My father was the senior US Army Corps of Engineers/Nuclear Engineer officer in charge of the construction and stand-up of Nuclear Reactor SM-1A at Fort Greeley, the first nuclear reactor in North America. In his off hours, he taught his soldiers Russian since he was fluent, having learned the language through 4 years at West Point. He even told us about having to store specialized cold-weather rockets in the Officer's Club walk-in freezer to keep them from heating up when outside temperatures exceeded freezing. Lots of amazing stories about his time there in the 1960s.

Additionally, I am among very few Air Force personnel who have been TDY to Pine Gap. I, too, have some amazing and humorous stories of my lengthy visit there. The Australian people are wonderful hosts.

Lets profile the same base twice. Another stupid AI generated video that no one bothered to actually watch all the way through to do some basic grade school editing. amazing.....

The RCAF sent the US the Thule National Forest so maybe that is why they were hi-lighted but they also still use it when transiting to/from Alert.

That’s a shame.. I did a TDY at Thule & Sondrestrom..Great experience.. we should keep both bases, and apologize to Greenland!

@tomjohnson7494

Tooo Leee was used as a reference to send malcontents (assholios) for duty, when they were pointed out to the big boss. Usually a colonel or higher ranking officer would give the man a choice to apologize for his actions to whomever he offended, or get transferred to Thule. Worked good too. 🇺🇸🙏🙏👍👍👍👍 I do however, know if a POS E6 that made that trip and I was very happy to watch his departure. 👋👋

Thule Airbase will be closed 20 jan 2025, its a US base not a NATO base, that’s what the parliament of Greenland 🇬🇱 want it’s closed as Trump insults a proud person, vote in the parliament was 31 to 0 😂

@jaytrxer

Aside from the glaring error with Thule, why are you showing Alaska based radar shots and continuing to talk about Greenland?

@denali9449
@

So funny that Thule is said in the video to be a US base, but, all the items that were shown actually onsite were Canadian.

Camp Century was actually called Echo Base, Hoth. It was defended by a powerful ion cannon and squads of air speeders converted to operate in frigid conditions. It was discovered by the Galactic Empire, which quickly invaded Hoth forcing the evacuation and subsequent abandonment of the base. Many fled on TaunTauns but they eventualy froze to death or were eaten by the Wampa Clan.

I was stationed at Dugway Proving Grounds from 2012 - 2014. In 2014 all the Army personnel were transferred to Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. Any questions?

@matty2timez708

Surprisd at the mispronunciation of Thule, as in previous videos he's pronounced it correctly. Also, and I am sure Im going to sound like a broken record here, but... c'mon, CFB Alert!

A friend just participated in a NASA climate study at Thule and spent four weeks up there. One of the other big dangers with the base is there is no fencing around the base, so polar bears are regular visitors. The entire base shuts down when a polar bear is found nearby. But he said it is a very interesting set-up they have there. The U.S. Air Force/Space Force runs all of the military operations up there, but since it is officially a Danish facility (Greenland belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark), Denmark handles all of the infrastructure. Danes run the recreation and fitness facilities as well as the large cafeteria on the base. He said it was an interesting and fun mix Danish and American culture up there.

You pronouncing Thule wrong as the air force called it too-lee.

How about spending time to learn how to pronounce Thule. Not TOOL, but Too-Lee. Who makes these things, 5th grade drop outs?

Oh, YAY. Another military branch upon which to spread blame.

@nancycunningham4225

I can tell you first hand that most of these pics and vids are total BS. The military is NOT going to disclose actual pics of the insides of these facilities. The government may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer BUT, they are not that stupid!!! At least I hope not!! LOL

@danduffy7974

If these bases are so secret, why the fuck do we know about them lol SMH
