At McMurdo Station and at the South Pole. Anywhere else?
If you don't think the South Pole even exists, that leaves only McMurdo.
You speak as is if you know everything, when all you do is twist the truth, you shill.
The article you cite agrees with what I said. Are you trying to twist the truth, or are you just confused?
Much like the large hubs such as Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan, McMurdo Station serves at the main operating base in Antarctica. Just as Afghanistan is dotted with much smaller forward operating bases, Antarctica has its own remote outposts.
Remote outposts operated by scientists and other civilians. I worked at one for a couple of months, decades ago.
If it weren’t for the penguin colony and the snow-covered volcano next door, you’d probably never know the difference.

That article is about McMurdo Station.
Antarctica has a thriving military agenda.
[Resized for legibility.]
From the linked article:
"Military personnel, who live in two-person barracks rooms, make up only about 10 percent of the population at McMurdo, yet they play a vital role in the Antarctic Research program, flying and maintaining the aircraft that bring personnel, supplies and equipment to the base and ferrying them to camps all over the continent."
"The rock stars of this icy inhabitant [continent?] are the scientists doing the research."
That's a threatening agenda all right.
They never mention Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. There may be no military personnel there at all, so I might have been wrong about that. It wouldn't surprise me, but I'm not sure.
See if you can find another article that answers that question.
Remember, your assertion was
Fact: The US military has a constant presence in antarctica.
What you said
might be true, in a technical sense. All you've shown is there is a small contingent of National Guard transportation folks at McMurdo in a support role for research during the austral summer. The article is silent whether or not they're present year round (as in "
constant"). But since their job is "flying and maintaining the aircraft" and there are typically no flights (and no aircraft) during the winter, there may be no US military presence there at all for a good chunk of the year.
How about if I correct my earlier post to remove South Pole station from the list of two, and hedge on whether any US military personnel are in the remaining station, McMurdo, and, thus, Antarctica, "continuously" based on what the article you cite says?
Thanks for the link!
