Satellite, red line is a fence.

Niantic doesn't care that military locations are totally forbidden places outside USA.
Still not possible to get to by the public. So it should violate portal criteria regardless of military base or not
@Kegulf-ING read the 2nd criteria question:
Firstly, would've appreciated if you copy the question, spent a bit of time trying to understand which question you were referring to 😅😅
The question:
How does “publicly accessible” apply to locations that have limited access, like members-only clubs, gated communities, time-restricted areas?
Answer:
Just like with the definition of private residential property, this guideline hasn’t changed. These locations would still be eligible, including restricted areas on the grounds of a company’s headquarters or behind locked gates so long as there wouldn’t be objections to you entering the area and the location is accessible to some folks. We do not expect all players to have access to all locations but we strongly recommend following real-world rules while attempting to access locations.
"so long as there wouldn’t be objections to you entering the area and the location is accessible to some folks."
There would be objections to me entering the area. There is also an "and" in that statement, meaning both things would have to be true for it to be eligible.
Also, the portal photographies are in direct conflict with Norwegian law, that in it self should be reason enough to remove them.
