It seems ok to add military facilities, but I'm not really sure how to tag these. I looked up a few:
It looks like the convention is to tag these as landuse=military
, but otherwise it's not really consistent. I'm kind of surprised there aren't any operator
tags.
Maybe we could add a category under the operators tree for landuse=military
+ operator=*
/operator:wikidata=*

A few users and I on the Discord agreed that office=government
would work. However, there has been some discussion on the tagging mail list that landuse=military
would work better.

We could support both tags if they are different things.
For example, I'm not sure how those strip-mall-recruiting-centers are tagged, but I'm sure it's different from bases. I can imagine that landuse=military
and office=government
are both common things worth mapping operated by the "United States Coast Guard". (In the same way that amenity=post_office
and amenity=post_box
are both common things operated by the "United States Postal Service")
Relevant discussion seems to be taking place on these 2 proposals which would refine the landuse=military
tag..

(These proposals both seem fine to me.)
FWIW, several police forces in police.json
are military police. Lots of Gendarmeries, the Carabinieri, and most of the Brazilian entries, for example.
The United States Coast Guard is a chain of government offices which are a branch of the United States Armed Forces. These offices are located across the United States. Wikidata here: https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11224
