Cool to know what you aware of wikipedia. However. Military unit = воинская часть. Military base = военная база. These are two different things. Here is a quote from your link:

"In most cases, a military base relies on some outside help in order to operate. However, certain complex bases are able to endure by themselves for long periods because they are able to provide food, water and other life support necessities for their inhabitants while under siege."

If any of that bases has got the US soldiers, then yes it is a synonym.
