Yes. For the US Army, they're called (or at least were called; I retired 19 years ago) POMCONUS sites (Pre-positioned Material outside CONUS) They're basically yards and buildings full of major end items (vehicles, tents, MREs, and a big et cetera), usually maintained by civilian contractors, with a small command cadre of actual military troops.

These same sorts of sites exist in CONUS as well.
