Military Base Realignments and Closures: Review of the Iowa and Milan Army Ammunition Plants

Abstract

The Army is in the process of relocating munitions production-related functions to Iowa and Milan (Tennessee) Army Ammunition Plants as the result of two recommendations of the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Commission's report and in accordance with the provisions of the 2008 contract awarded to American Ordnance for operating and maintaining these two plants. The 2005 BRAC Commission's recommended certain munitions production related functions to be moved to Iowa and Milan as the result of other plant closures. Other production functions already existing in Milan are being relocated to the Iowa Plant in accordance with the Army's 2008 contract with American Ordnance. Local and state officials in Tennessee are concerned whether the relocations, outlined in the 2008 contract, violate the BRAC Commission's recommendations and/or whether BRAC or other DOD funds are being used by American Ordnance to execute the relocation of functions outlined in the contract.
