Streetsblog has an interesting post analyzing census data to list the places that house the highest percentage of people who walk to work. On the list:
Naval Academy, Maryland
West Point, NY
Air Force Academy, Colorado
Lackland AFB, TX
These are all relatively low-population places, but even if you increase the total population threshold to 20,000, Fort Bragg and Fort Hood are both on the top ten list.
So, the moral of the story is that military installations have good conditions for a pedestrian environment to thrive, they just need the planning to encourage it.
