	As implied, Fort Baxter is a multirole military installation that provides accommodation and training for recruits, stores military equipment (most prominently military vehicles), and serve as a operations center for military deployments from Vice City.

As implied, Fort Baxter is a multirole military installation that provides accommodation and training for recruits, stores military equipment (most prominently military vehicles), and serve as a operations center for military deployments from Vice City. In both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the base roughly contains barracks, hangers or garages, and a massive administration building, but the general configuration of these buildings differ between games.

	Fort Baxter is a heavily guarded area where a large numbers of [[Military\|soldiers]] wander around with armed with [[M16\|M4s]], making it extremely dangerous for the player to gain access to the base; the military defenders may have a shoot-on-sight policy, regardless of whether or not the player is armed. Furthermore, soldiers will occasionally attack the player in GTA Vice City when they simply pass by in the street outside, even though the player is technically not trespassing on the base itself. For this reason, extreme caution should be used when in the area. Soldiers will also shoot any [[Patrol Invest Group\|PIG]]s or other gang members that appear either on the road in front of the base or in the base itself.

	The base's layout can be summarized as follows: The base's main courtyard, where ground-base military vehicles are parked, is located directly behind the base's main entrance, with the administration building is situated on the northwestern corner. The base's three hangers can be seen on the southeastern portion of the compound, while two barracks (complete with a significantly detailed obstacle course) are found on the northeastern corner. These facilities are separated by fences which can only be crossed by walking around them or finding a gate. Three heavily reinforced guard towers, two at the entrance, and one between the administration building and obstacle course, tower over the compound.

	Except for one behind the front sign, there are no [[Hidden Packages\|hidden packages]] within the base, but there are accessible military vehicles, including the [[Rhino]] and the [[Hunter]]. Even so, stealing them with so many soldiers in the vicinity is no mean feat. The Hunter is particularly secure, as it is located at the rear of the base, behind many fences that need to be circumvented. Landing a [[Maverick]] next to the Hunter and then quickly jumping on board is one tactic to obtain the coveted attack helicopter.

	It is worth noting that Fort Baxter, like the [[Washington Beach]] [[Washington Beach Police Station\|police station]], can be entered freely if the player is wearing the cop outfit, giving very easy access to military vehicles located inside. It is also worth noting that attacking a soldier will cause all the soldiers to attack the player regardless.

	The "ghost tower" is a coined name referring to an air traffic control tower that was originally intended to be located within Fort Baxter in GTA Vice City. The building was removed prior to the game's release. It seemed to be meant to serve a runway at the base that was also cut pre-release. The low level-of-detail building, visible in both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, can only be viewed before entering the mainland, before the loading screen of the mainland. The tower will not be visible if the player enters the mainland. A video depicting the tower's presence can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwMupD8iJtA here].
