That's to be decided, but from what I understand apparently not. That's one of 
the reasons why the US has the status of forces agreements with most countries 
where there's a US base, so that US laws apply to american personnel on US 
bases. The state department seems to think that US forces bases are not 
american territory, from the article:

>According to a State Department manual, U.S. military installations abroad
>cannot be considered "part of the United States" and "A child born on the
>premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United
>States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth." 

So it would be very interesting to see how this plays out.
