Modeling Army Maneuver and Training Base Realignment and Closure

Abstract

Title XXIX of United States Public Law 101-510, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, provides procedures for closure or realignment of major department of Defense installations. This law and subsequent legislative amendments require installations slated for closure to have been impartially evaluated primarily with regard to military value and cost. This paper presents an elastic bi-criterion mixed integer programming model with military value and cost objectives developed to assist the Army with closure and realignment recommendations for maneuver and training bases. The model has assisted with Army stationing decisions and is expected to help the Army develop its 1995 recommendations. Base realignment and closure, Integer programming applications, Capacitated facility location.
