The Aleutian Islands, part of Alaska, are home to several military installations, primarily due to their strategic location. Notably, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) is located on the mainland but oversees operations in the region. Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard operates various facilities throughout the Aleutians, including the Coast Guard Station in Kodiak. Historically, during World War II, bases like Fort Glenn and the Dutch Harbor Naval Operating Base were significant for military operations in the area.

The Aleutian Islands are located in Alaska. Aleutian Islands are a group of more than 300 small volcanic islands forming part of the Aleutian Arc in the Northern Pacific Ocean, occupying an area of 6,821 sq mi (17,666 km²) and extending about 1,200 mi (1,931 km) westward from the Alaska Peninsula toward the Kamchatka Peninsula. The islands were explored in 1741 by Vitus Bering, a Danish navigator employed by Russia, and remained under Russian control until Alaska was purchased by the United States in 1867. The islands are the site of U.S. military bases and research stations. (see the related link)
