I live close to a few US military installations. Good question. AFAIK they’re guarded by our own federal police and policed by US MPs. These bases don’t have notable armories or military equipment. I don’t think they’d have any other choice than to surrender. They weren’t ever conceived to be bases in a battleground.
Other countries do military based differently than the US. America is essentially an “all expeditionary” force that is expected to deploy and fight pretty much everywhere EXCEPT the US.
Militaries in the EU (and pretty much everywhere else except maybe the UK) are prepared to fight within they own borders if called upon to do so.
That’s part of why European aircraft often need to have short runway capabilities because a lot of countries have plans that include utilizing highways as military airfields.
