Defense is a surprisingly large use of land. How is that? Can anyone explain the most land intensive uses of the Armed Forces? Like tank training areas maybe?

    Mikitary bases are pretty big. Air force, army, national guard, naval air stations, naval bases, there is a lot going on there.

    Can't forget that military bases are communities where people live, too. Not just barracks and mess halls for individuals, but there are full neighborhoods and shopping centers for families.*

    *My knowledge on this is limited, I just remember visiting a family member on base when I was younger.
