Re: international/military

The fact that the injury occurred on a military base does not result in immunity, but there may be issues involved depending on what the cause of action is/how the injury happened/the nationality of the parties and the host country/the existence of any particular Status of Forces Agreements or defenses based on any status as a government contractor. More details would be needed to fully answer your question.
