Europe houses the largest group at about 365,000 with a Pentagon cost of roughly 2.6 billion dollars last year. With critics urging reductions, NATO balance and local tensions shape the overseas presence as Americans live largely within a cocoon of U.S. institutions and occasionally clash with host-country customs.
