This is probably a US-centric viewpoint, but I note that there is a general lack of tagging under the military= key to indicate the military branch associated with a military base. For example, we have military=naval_base, but no equivalent tagging for army, air force, amphibious, (dare I say space force?) bases. In places where the coast guard IS part of the military, tagging it under landuse=military + military=* is appropriate. However, I also support the need to tag coast guard areas in places where they are considered non-military and thus landuse=military would not be appropriate.
