Location guide checked . The sources below support this location overview; each reviewed installation guide has its own evidence register.

  • Planning expanded November 6, 2026 using official service pages and indexed official text where direct access was restricted. Individual source dates distinguish new planning checks from retained history and image evidence. No phone call, site visit or official endorsement is claimed.
  • The directory distinguishes U.S., NATO, multinational and host-nation facilities. A U.S. tenant or shared-use relationship does not establish American ownership.
  • Confirm current orders, access and support with the actual receiving organization. Historical directory text, construction forecasts and community events are not proof of present service availability.
