Military Family Housing in the United States

Abstract

With the end of the Cold War and the decline in resources for national defense, the Department of Defense (DoD) has reduced both its purchases of new weapons and the number of combat units it maintains, But the department has not always proportionally reduced the size and cost of the infrastructure that supports its equipment and personnel. This study was prepared in response to a joint request by the Chairman of the Military Personnel and Compensation Subcommittee (now known as the Military Forces and Personnel Subcommittee) and the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Installations and Facilities of the House Armed Services Committee. It examines policy options that would reduce that cost of DoD family housing in the United States while attempting to protect the quality of life now enjoyed by the families of military personnel. In keeping with the mandate of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to provide objective analysis, the study contains no recommendations
