This is a list of military installations in Mexico, categorized by location, organizational structure, and type of facility. Mexican military installations are operated by the country's two primary defense institutions, the Department of Defense (Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional) (SEDENA), which oversees the Mexican Army (Ejército Mexicano) and the Mexican Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Mexicana), and the Department of the Navy (Secretaría de Marina) (SEMAR), which commands the Mexican Navy (Armada de México). Additionally, the National Guard (Guardia Nacional), created in recent years, operates under civilian control but relies heavily on SEDENA, SEMAR, and the Secretariat of Security and Civilian Protection for personnel, infrastructure, and logistical support.
