Key BRAC Report: Must Read!
FEDweek and Armed Forces News have located for you a
the direct link to the real meat of the just released
official Base Realignment and Closure list.
This special section of the massive report breaks down
in detail every affected base, function and unit that
would gain or lose civilian and military personnel.
These are very large PDF documents, which may
take some time to open or download. But you’ll find it
well worth it, because unlike the overview document
you’ll see all over other news media which merely names
the installations marked for closure or realignment,
this more detailed section is where you’ll find important
information pertinent to your own situation. What’s in
store for your unit or function if the recommendations
win final approval? You’ll find out here.
Remember, These are big files! If your computer gives you
a “trouble” message, it’s most likely because your
machine doesn’t have the Internet bandwidth or computing
power to perform the task quickly, or even at all. If
you run into this problem, seek the help of a colleague
or friend (or any teenager!) who can help.
Here’s a quick, random, example of the kind of
nuggets in this report:
Red River Army Depot, TX — Recommendation: Close Red
River Army Depot, TX. Relocate the storage and
demilitarization functions of the Munitions Center to
McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, OK. Relocate the
munitions maintenance functions of the Munitions Center
to McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, OK, and Blue Grass
Army Depot, KY. Relocate the depot maintenance of
Armament and Structural Components, Combat Vehicles,
Depot Fleet/Field Support, Engines and Transmissions,
Fabrication and Manufacturing, Fire Control Systems and
Components, and Other to Anniston Army Depot, AL.
Relocate the depot maintenance of Powertrain Components,
and Starters/Generators to Marine Corps Logistics Base
Albany, GA. Relocate the depot maintenance of Construction
Equipment to Anniston Army Depot, AL, and Marine Corps
Logistics Base Albany, GA. Relocate the depot maintenance
of Tactical Vehicles to Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA and
Letterkenny Depot, PA. Relocate the depot maintenance
of Tactical Missiles to Letterkenny Army Depot, PA.
Disestablish the supply, storage, and distribution
functions for tires, packaged Petroleum, Oil, and
Lubricants, and compressed gases. Relocate the storage
and distribution functions and associated inventories
of the Defense Distribution Depot to the Defense
Distribution Depot, Oklahoma City, OK.
(The report also spells out the justification, economic
impact on communities, environmental impact and other
key considerations in each base entry.)
