A **Military Base** is the centre of a nation's armed forces in a region. Soldiers need one to train with tanks and jets, and it's where the government manages its vehicles and enlisted soldiers.

## Effects

### Training

* **Tank and Jet training:** players and NPCs can only train these skills in a region where their nation has a Military Base. Without one, only Infantry and Medic training is available.
* **Training bonus:** training at a base gives slightly better skill gains than training elsewhere.
* Each training session wears the base down a tiny amount (0.01% integrity).

### Base administration

The Military Base page gives the **President**, **Vice President**, **Defence Minister** and the base's **Commanding Officer** access to:

* **Buy units:** purchase Jets and Tanks from the defence budget (1 VBX each)
* **Deploy units:** send Jets and Tanks to enlisted soldiers
* **Manage soldiers:** enlist citizens into the military, or remove them
* **Supply:** hand out weapons, ammunition, medicine, armour and other equipment
* **Change CO:** appoint a new Commanding Officer (a citizen of level 3 or higher)
