I am guessing here, but 'base' is often used to mean 'Armed Forces Base of Operatons and/or Training'.

Another NZ anecdote from too far back in my past to recollect where I read it had the words 'laundry detergent' mean 'washing powder' - from a hapless ex-pat who had trouble finding the appropriate product in a grocery store. :blink:
