Military Base Closures: Time for Another Round

Abstract

Ninety-seven major military bases were recommended for closure and realignment by the 1988, 1991, 1993, and 1995 base realignment and closure (BRAC) commissions. Action on all 451 installations (major and minor) from the first four rounds was completed by the end of FY2001, as scheduled. The Department of Defense has estimated that these closures and realignments have produced net savings of about$15.5 billion as of the end of FY2001, and will continue to produce an estimated annual savings hereafter of about $5.7 billion.
