Base Closure and Realignment 2005 Finishes on Time

摘要

The Army has completed 440 projects as part of the 2005 Department of Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) program-all before the 15 September 2011 BRAC deadline. These projects closed 12 Active component installations, 1 Reserve installation, and 387 National Guard and Army Reserve centers. They also reduced the Army's occupancy of 8 leased facilities and returned 70,363 acres of property and facilities to local communities for redevelopment. The Army Materiel Command, in addition to moving its headquarters to Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, closed ammunition plants and chemical demilitarization sites, realigned depot maintenance functions, and reconstituted new laboratories and administrative spaces, consolidating into four main centers at Huntsville, Alabama; Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois; Warren, Michigan; and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
