"A list obtained by The Associated Press of military facilities the Defense Department recommended for closure..."

"Story not found!!!"

Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

We're on the suggested list, even though we've technically been sold back to the city. Figures, though- San Antonio for the longest time had four Air Force bases and Fort Sam Houston (army)

Being a sap for memorial names, I hate to see the Grissom Air Reserve Base in Bunker Hill, IN on the list. Maybe we could petition the USAF to name the consolidated reserve center in his honor.

Im a member of another message board where theres lots of military personnel. They pointed out that Iowa had three naval base closures. I know its not unusual for landlockefd areas to have naval units but it gives me a weird vision of a fleet somehow sailing across the state!

Whatever were they thinking when they named that? #-o

They will also document how the security of the Nation depends on the continued operation of (name the facility) in their district.

You mean like this?

That list has to be a fake.

There's no way in absolute hell they would close Eglin, Edwards, Vandenburg, and the biggest BS closing: Andrews.

Edit: Just waking up, I thought the pasted list was the same as the linked list.

That list includes all bases that are either receiving or losing any unit, even if it is only one person. The list of closings is also incomplete, since some bases, like Eielson AFB in Fairbanks, AK, are losing almost all of their units and personnel, but are not technically being closed.

PDF File - Complete BRAC List from DoD with number of jobs lost or gained by site.

I'll have to get my boyfriend to look over that list. he's Reserves here in WA, and he's got to get up really early to get to his drill the first weekend of the month. he's going to be really mad if his reserve center is closed. (he's army, but two of those army centers don't have locations listed that I saw.)

Ever since 1990 someone in the military command/political PTBs has had it in for southeastern Connecticut. Especially the Navy, which apparently waited until they were sure Rickover wasn't coming back from the dead before starting to dismantle what the Admiral had built there.

Speaking of, how intergral is Redstone Arsonal to Marshall Space Flight Center?

If they shut Redstone, what's that going to do to MSFC?

Meanwhile, in blue Hawaii:
May 12, 2005
"...Sen. Daniel Inouye has successfully blocked the Navy from moving the command of its submarines at Pearl Harbor to another state [Norfolk VA] for at least another year...also prevented the Navy from moving control of aircraft and vessels from San Diego to the Atlantic for the same period...the Pacific Fleet...more than 190 ships and submarines, 1,400 aircraft, 191,000 sailors and Marines and 30,000 civilians...command encompassing 102 million square miles..."

Well Brookes finaly made the closure list. Not really surprising. I don't really even know what they do there anymore. I know they used to nuke monkeys (ala Project X), not that that's a bad thing. Who am I to judge?

No, they won't stop until the entire US forces are in one easily targetable location. One day the only military we'll have left is the Coast Guard and that only because their mission precludes polititions from piling them all into one place. GG, idiots. It won't be long before we are back where we were before WWII. Oh well, they never learn.

Goodfellow Air Force Base is here in San Angelo. They were very nervous about this list, but luckily were not on it. It's a good thing too, the town would shrink real fast if GAFB closed.

I trained at the intel school there at Goodbuddy in the early 90s. It's a pretty little base. They are still the home of the Defense Intelligence Training Center, right?

Even after the closings, that would still leave around 3,500 military bases (60 major).

While i highly disagree with the partisanship of it (and its undenyable). It does make alot of sense. On one hand from what i hear several of the bases being permanently closed are already on their way out and just need the final paperwork to close it.
On the other hand Its not some dastardly plan, its just politicians being politicians. You don't want to take away from your own state, or your parties state. So take it away from the other guy. While not good, it does make sense in pure politics.


But remember this still has to go through congress and several boards of review. There is little chance this list will even resemble the final list.
