Where BRAC came out

摘要

Brooks City-Base, Tex. ... Qnizuka AFS, Calif. ... Ku-lis ANGB, Alaska. ... Each of these well-known USAF locations is now are marked for extinction. Cannon AFB, N.M., hasn't exactly been ordered closed, but it has lost its mission. Cannon has until late 2009 to find a new one. If it doesn't, then Cannon, too, will vanish. Pope AFB, N.C., is a special case. It will survive. No longer, however, will it be called Pope Air Force Base and no longer will it belong to the Air Force. It is to be absorbed by adjacent Ft. Bragg, an Army base in North Carolina, to create a joint super-base under Army administration. If all goes as planned, these and other Air Force installations will soon join the ranks of such late, great bases as Loring in Maine, McClellan in California, and Wurtsmith in Michigan. Each in its turn was either shut down or drastically realigned in a DOD base closure round.
