Book Description

Publication Date: May 27, 2005

This important and up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides a comprehensive guide to the current round of military base closings – BRAC, the Base Realignment and Closure process. This round was announced by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on May 13, 2005. The Pentagon stated that “the department’s recommendations to close or realign military facilities in the United States will better position U.S. forces to confront this century’s threats. The recommendation, if fully implemented, will generate an estimated net savings of nearly $50 billion over the next two decades. When combined with the anticipated savings from overseas basing realignments around the world, the projected net savings increases to $64.2 billion. The department’s BRAC recommendations, if adopted, would close 33 major bases and realign 29 more. The BRAC recommendations were developed in a process that began in 2001, with the initiation of a review of how U.S. forces were arrayed overseas. Prospective changes to the department’s global posture were fed into the analysis and recommendations. As a result, forces coming home will return to installations better arrayed to train and deploy for possible contingencies around the world.” Contents include: Assistance Programs for DOD Civilian Employees; Families; Job Placement; incentives; entitlements; Undersecretary for Installations and Environment; Office of Economic Adjustment; Army, Navy, and Air Force programs.
