In Hawaii it's Schofield Barracks, the largest Army post located on an 18,000 acre site in central Oahu. In California Camp Pendelton Marine Base sprawls over 125,000 acres, however in New Mexico, White Sands Missile Range, (formerly White Sands Proving Grounds), comprises approximately 2.5 million acres. Marine Base Camp Lejeune is a bit larger than Pendelton at 157,440 acres, while Naval Station China Lake is smaller than White Sands at 1.1 million acres. I didn't address which bases have the greatest manpower, as that didn't appear to be in your question, and to convert sq. miles to acres, simply multiply by 640, so Fort Irwin would comprise 640,000 acres, and while Fort Carson has acquired additional acreage, though it's still much smaller than Irwin or White Sands with its current size of 138,523 acres.
