I'd say that military bases within European countries is the definition of projecting hard power. If 40 000 soldiers in a military base are called 'soft power', what's hard power then? Nuking the city?
40k really isn't that many, especially when it comes to war. That said, those bases can likely handle a lot higher population, which would rapidly increase in wartime.
