This is probably based on population
If you throw enough people in one area, they'll eventually have all the needs in the whole world. This is why you find super-sub-specialists in dense, urban areas, but not in the boonies
Pay also depends on a lot of factors, like the ones in this link

The salaries are dependent upon specialty and pay grade. See the military medicine forum for more detail on that.

Are you able to work on an overseas military base as a civilian doc?

Are you looking at civilian employment on a military base or are you looking to serve in the military overseas?

Depends on the location and if there is a hiring freeze due to the federal budget.

Yes. It is possible. Is it 100% something to bank on? No. There are limited positions and as you said, limited resources for hiring, but I was stationed in Korea and I met many civilian healthcare personnel within the base medical centers. Some Korean and some American. Not all specialties and equipment was present everywhere and some more remotely located bases referred soldiers to the Korean healthcare system as needed.
