This interactive timeline of the United States’ history of military bases throughout Central Asia links to a range of primary and secondary sources. It begins with the establishment of military bases in Uzbekistan following the 9/11 attacks, continues through the U.S. withdrawal from the region, and contains recent information about veterans’ efforts to receive compensation for health issues resulting from their service. The timeline is a resource for anyone interested in the history of U.S. foreign policy in Central Asia.
