It counts U.S. bases in "over 50 countries" (my emphasis). According to Wikipedia, the number of countries we currently have bases in (excluding the USA) is 18. Here they are in alphabetical order, with the branch or branches that maintain one or more facilities there following the country name. Our biggest overseas presence appears to be in Germany, Japan, and South Korea.

01. Afghanistan: Marines, Air Force
02. Bahamas: Navy
03. Bahrain: Navy
04. Cuba: Navy
05. Denmark (Greenland): Air Force
06. Djibouti: Navy
07. Germany: Army, Marines, Air Force
