Spread across the globe, the various abandoned military bases stand as eerie, powerful reminders of conflicts that have since passed. These ghostly military bases that once hosted bustling crowds of soldiers, with high-tech weaponry and classified operations, now exist as mere deserted sites that have been left to decay away under the dual effects of nature and time. We’ll now take a look at 20 images of military bases that have been frozen in time.
