Explore forces, facilities and reporting
Open Conflict / Military to browse Bases & facilities, Forces by country, Military news, Military technology and Source coverage. Search by name or operator, filter connected facility records, and locate a reference on the existing map. The Global bases layer represents all matching source records in view, grouping dense areas into counted cells.
Source dates and coverage
Wikidata, OurAirports and the public U.S. DoD / Esri MIRTA catalogue provide complementary reference records. Inventories can overlap; source records are not a count of unique operational installations. MIRTA describes its data currency as 2024. Wikidata and airport entries can include historical or unverified current use. OpenStreetMap endpoint availability is reported explicitly.
Country profiles show available World Bank military personnel and expenditure observations with their individual reference years. Missing values remain missing. Public-source coverage is not a complete order of battle or tracking of every military asset.
Military technology and scheduled refreshes
The reader links to official and specialist publisher feeds, including DARPA, defense-technology publications and armed-forces announcements. Publication and update dates remain distinct. Topic labels are based on publisher feeds or headline/excerpt keywords, not independent verification of an operation or capability.
News sources are scheduled for half-hourly checks and reference catalogues for weekly checks. Failed refreshes retain the last accepted evidence with a visible source state. Available feed windows and collection start dates limit history.
