Talk:List of former United States Army installations

message: This list should be called "List of U.S. Army posts"  That is the proper term for Army installations – the other American miliary services have bases.

replies: text: I would be opposed to that, because "posts," though for the most part correct, are only one type of installation they operate out of. They also operate out of Cooperative Security Locations (CSLs), Forward Operating Sites (FOSs) and Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). --Petercorless 08:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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?

replies: text: 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?
