Department of Defense Base Structure Report for Fiscal Year 1989
Abstract
Military installations are vital to the nation's security , and quality facilities greatly enhance the working and living conditions of our military people and their families. The base structure of the Department of Defense (DOD) comprises over 5,500 properties with almost 27 million acres of land, and has an original investment cost of roughly $66 billion and a replacement value for FY 1989 estimated at $460 billion. Defense installations and properties range from unmanned navigational aid stations of less than a half acre to the Naval station at Norfolk, Virginia with over 60,00 employees and Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada with over 3 Million acres. The worldwide military base structure supports our defense population, which consists of an active force of nearly 2.2 million military personnel, 1.7 million guard and reserve members, and 1.2 million civilian people. The investment that this country makes in its defense facilities is an investment in its military people -- an investment that is repaid in the form of improved pride, greater performance, and better combat readiness. Keywords; Planning programming budgeting, Defense planning.
