Military Bases: Revised Cost and Saving Estimates for 1988 and 1991 Closures and Realignments
Abstract
Commissions on Base Realignment and Closure were established by Congress in 1988 and 1991 to review and recommend military bases within the United States for closure and realignment. The 1933 Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act established the first Commission together with the basis for implementing Commission recommendations. The act also established the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Account (BRAC-I) to fund one-time costs to close or realign bases. The act requires that revenues generated from land sales be deposited into the account to offset closure and realignment costs. Funding for BRAN actions spans fiscal years 1990 through 1995.
