U.S. Bases in Central Asia

Abstract

The Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan have offered varying degrees of assistance to U.S. global war on terrorism (GWOT). This paper outlines the nature of their responses to the U.S. campaign and details the specifics of military bases currently being used by U.S. forces. It also describes potential basing options in Tajikistan, as well as Russian basing plans in the region. The paper then examines new U.S. global military basing plans, how the Central Asian states appear to be fitting into these plans, and the broader strategic implications of these plans.
