I haven't said that base and unit are synonyms. Military unit is the people and vehicles of the unit, base is a place, like barracks, armoury and so on. You know, like house is a place and the people who live there are the unit.
The countries where the bases are located might disagree with your definition of US military base. I agree if there are mainly US troops, but as countries do cooperation, some foreign personnel doesn't make it foreign military base per se.
