2005 BRAC

For you military types... you might recognize a few of these. This is an "unofficial" list that surfaced this morning through email:

BRAC List - Just off the Press
================================================== ==============
Army bases currently proposed for closure or realignment in 2005
include:

Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania
Detroit Arsenal, Michigan
Fort Belvoir, Virginia
Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico
Fort McPherson/Gillem, Georgia
Fort Monmouth, New Jersey
Fort Monroe, Virginia
Fort Polk, Louisiana (to realign)
Fort Richardson, Alaska
Fort Sam Houston, Texas
Fort Shafter, Hawaii
Lima Army Tank Plant, Ohio
Natick Soldier Center, Massachusetts
Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey
Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois
Sierra Army Depot, California
Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona
================================================== ===
Air Force base closures and realignments include:

Altus AFB, Oklahoma
Beale AFB, California
Brooks AFB, Texas
Cannon AFB, New Mexico
Columbus AFB, Mississippi
Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota
Goodfellow AFB, Texas
Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota
Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts
Kirtland AFB, New Mexico
Los Angeles AFB, California
McConnell AFB, Kansas
Nellis AFB, Nevada (to realign)
Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina (to realign)
Shaw AFB, South Carolina
Vance AFB, Oklahoma

The Air Force will lose 2,260 military and 2,839 civilian manpower positions, and 1,055 reserve drill authorizations next year, according to the 2004 force-structure announcement released July 23.
Many bases, both active duty and reserve component, are affected by the realignment. In many cases, units will gain aircraft and missions, while others will pare down.

Besides manpower reductions, the realignment formally announces the retirement of the C-9A Nightingale and KC-135E Stratotanker aircraft.

According to Air Force officials, the 20 C-9s are being retired because of reduced-patient movement, range limitations and increasing
maintenance and upgrade costs. The aeromedical-evacuation mission will become a requirements-based system using all passenger-capable aircraft.

The service will retire 44 of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Command's 43-year-old KC-135Es next year, replacing them
with 24 KC-135Rs from the active-duty fleet. By the end of fiscal 2006,
the Air Force will have retired 68 of the KC-135Es.

Those lists you have are the original BRAC review lists Al. The one I posted is rumoured to be the final cut.

We'll see I guess.

[Go Aweigh2452]

Actual list as of this AM:
http://www.kirotv.com/news/4485418/detail.html

I'm a bit surprised that they are closing New London... The others on the list are no surprise... (Navy anyway...)

Base Closings Timeline

May 16, 2005: Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard B. Myers,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testify before the nine-member base closing
commission.

May through August: The commission will hold public hearings, conduct site visits,
and collect data on each facility on the Pentagon's list to determine whether the
Defense Department proposal was justified.
The commission can vote to add facilities to the list, but it takes seven of the nine
members to do so. A simple majority vote would suffice to remove bases from the
closure list.

Sept. 8, 2005: The commission must forward its report of recommendations to
the President.

Sept. 23, 2005: The President must accept or reject the recommendations in
their entirety. If they are accepted, Congress has 45 legislative days or until the
end of its 2005 session to reject the recommendations in their entirety or they
become final.

If they are disapproved, the commission has until Oct. 20, 2005, to submit
a revised report to the President. The President has until Nov. 20, 2005,
to approve a revised report and send it to Congress.

The Pentagon then has six years to close, relocate or downsize bases on
the final list.

Yeah... that's a much nicer list than the one forwarded to me. Mostly reserve centers as the focus I think. They'll be realigned into already existing base and facilities and all will be well.

Dear, Seapuppy,

FYI They already closed a lot of militairy camps over here in Europe!

Just curious have you ever been in Europe?

We just opened a few new ones in the Middle East... :D

I hear the Air Force has plans for a fantastic Par 3 at Kandahar... :)

The Tikrit Open has been postponed, but the Kabul Invitational is still on though.

[Lazy Flamingo]

Iran is headed to become a "Multinational Parking Lot" for the
all new "Multinational Military PX - BX" on it's property .... :shock:
