Fort Bliss, TX

united states

Fort Bliss sprawls across the Chihuahuan Desert in far west Texas, serving as one of America's largest Army installations. Take I-10 to reach the base from either direction, with US-54 providing direct access to the main gates from El Paso. The post covers over 1,100 square miles and sits about 15 miles from El Paso International Airport. It's the only place in the US where soldiers train on Patriot missile systems.
