Post; Military Naming System


Hello, I was curious if there was a certain system for the naming of bases/outposts/camps what have you in the military?

Also are there any other sorts of naming systems in the military? I know there is the phoenetic military alphabet, alpha, bravo, charlie etc. but no others.

Thanks in advance.

It is completely random. Here at home mostly named after famous Generals or leaders... but overseas..... Random all random..

They take the street name of the city they were born in and the name of your first pet... oh wait that's something different.
