Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri
The claim: Situated in the middle of Mark Twain National Forest in Pulaski County. This site has been known for some UN training, also home to the US Army Urban Warfare Training school "Stem Village".
What it really is: Fort Leonard Wood has not hosted any training for UN troops, or any other foreign troops here, nor does it host urban combat training, although it is used for the Army Police Corps training.

Terminal Island, California
The claim: (Long Beach) located next to naval shipyards operated by ChiCom shipping interests. Federal prison facility located here. Possible deportation point.
What it really is: The shipping yards are operated by both the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor, and not by Communist China (which is, for some people, what ChiCom is slang for).
A Federal prison is there called the Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island, which has a population of 1,150 and is low security.
The naval shipyard there was closed in 1997.

Fort Ord, California
The claim: Closed in 1994, this facility is now an urban warfare training center for US and foreign troops, and may have some "P.O.W. - C.I." enclosures.
What it really is: This army base was closed in 1994, and is now a national park called the Fort Ord National Monument, and is opened to the public.
Some of the trails do have fences along them, but that is because of possible unexploded ordnance within those areas.

Holloman AFB (Alomogordo), New Mexico
The claim: Home of the German Luftwaffe
in Amerika; major UN base. New facility being built on this base, according to
recent visitors. Many former USAF buildings have been torn down by the busy and
rapidly growing German military force located here.
What it really is: The claim about the German Luftwaffe being there is in fact true, and they do have their own training tactical center (which was established in May 1996) but the Luftwaffe uses the space as a training facility only. This information is publicly known. There are about 600 German personnel there as of 2007, but these numbers can either increase to as much as 900, or decrease, depending on the actual training needs.
While NATO allies have been offered to use the base for training, the UN has not, and there is UN troop presence there at all.
It wouldn't surprise me if many of the buildings have been torn down and replaced, as the base has been around since World War 2, and many old buildings from that era tend to need to be replaced from time to time, plus many of the most modern and high tech air craft of the air force are flown out from there, and thus there is a need for modern and high tech buildings to support these aircraft, and in many cases it is just more cost effective to replace rather then upgrade these building (sometimes it's the only thing that can be done).
