They are stationed there to protect U.S. global interest and allies. As far as being stationed there it is what it is. You live there like it or not however long the military says. Depends on location tours/assignments can last 1 year say in Korea to if lucky and willing 20+ years at Germany. Just depends on the luck of the draw.

So is it safe to assume you are thinking about joining the armed services, or just taking an interest? Anyway, yes if you are stationed in another country you will be living there for as long as you are assigned there. Could be months or years depending on your rotation period. We need to have troops stationed in various countries for various reasons, sometimes it's current event or sometimes just because we have a base there. Also if you are married or have kids they might to go live there as well or you might actually be parted from your family (Husband, wife or kids)

Along with the above answers, the U.S. military also deploys military to be stationed around the world for quick mobilization in the event we have to go to war again. The principle is to strike fast and strike hard.

Of course, if you are stationed in another country you are going to live there. You can't commute.
We are there protecting our interests and citizens

Yes, you live where you are stationed. Sometimes you can't bring your family unless command sponsored...
They are stationed in Korea (for example) to protect the DMZ.
