List of United States Army installations in Italy
The United States Army has military complexes (bases are Italian territory and can be managed anytime by the Italian State authorities, [1] as the Sigonella crisis showed) in Italy:
NCIA operates seven satellite ground stations and one satellite centre, enabling seamless and secure communication channels for command centres and deployed forces across the Alliance. In 2019, NATO authorised EUR 1 billion for SATCOM services for the next 15 years.
These are the most important NATO and US military bases on Italian territory: Sigonella, finally, is the most important NATO base. Here, in the Catania plain, the US Navy airport in the Mediterranean is located and serves as a base for transmitting the data necessary for drone flight and attack plans.
The first military bases established in Italy were those of the United States after the signing of the Marshall Plan agreements in 1948, aimed at reconstructing Europe after the devastation of World War II. Meanwhile, NATO military bases have been located in Italy since 1949, the year the North Atlantic Treaty was signed.
