Abstract
This chapter will address some of the less obvious problems that beset the US basing in the United Kingdom. The sociological and potential political hazards of contact between visiting forces and residents are not always realised, but constitute a central concern. Whilst this chapter is not a full sociological account of the impact of US bases upon the British public, it does, by examining the legal basis of these relations and some main events in this area, seek to throw some light on this little explored area.
