After most major military conflicts the United States would draw down its forces not seeing the need for a large standing military in times of peace. Such reductions indeed occurred after World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam. The end of the Cold War was no different. Even though the early 1980's saw a healthy increase to the defense budget but by the end of the decade the nation's economy was suffering. The bipolar world was coming to an end and so was the need for a large defense program. The cuts in defense were offered as the "peace dividend" to reinvigorate the economy. The process of downsizing the military was undertaken across the board. One of those key processes involved closing and realigning military bases. From 1989 to 1995, the Department of Defense (DOD) underwent four independent episodes of base realignment and closure initiatives. After the last round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) in 1995, the DOD acknowledged that it still had excess facilities and infrastructure suggesting future BRAC rounds were considered a must. Specifically, Defense Secretary Cohen in 1998 stated that the DOD was about 23 percent oversized. Therefore DOD's short answer to the question "Are we right-sized?" would be no; however, have defense needs changed given the terrorist aftermath of September 11, 2001? During the Cold War the United States national strategy was one of containment and deterrence. After the horrific tragedy of September 11th, President Bush outlined a new National Security Strategy in part calling for military preemption if necessary and establishment of a Homeland Security Office. The DOD must now develop a national military strategy based on this new policy. Is it then perhaps premature to be considering or planning for base closures or maybe the need to reopen or establish new bases to support a pending restructuring of military strategy? Or is the continuation of BRAC needed to offset or pay the costs required to implement this new strategy? This paper explores the need for future rounds of Base Realignment and Closure actions given the above issues and concerns. To set the framework, I will provide an historical overview of BRAC rounds I through IV to include their military, political, and economic issues. This section will also highlight some of the practical lessons learned and how they have been either incorporated into the process or might be employed in the future. In this first section, I will include some personal viewpoints as I interfaced with the BRAC process from my position as an Environmental Program Manger at the Air Force Center of Environmental Excellence (AFCEE). Though my primary responsibility was to help facilitate the closure, environmental assessment, and reuse of Myrtle Beach Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina, I assisted my colleagues with similar duties impacting Air Force Base closures from all four BRAC rounds. The next section will focus on today's current political, military, and economic concerns associated with proposed BRAC actions while closing with a discussion on the BRAC of the future.

The Army has been doing its part to help downsize the defense establishment, closing 23 major installations in the four rounds of base closures and realignments. Yet, this work states that many believe that excess installation capacity remains, so more rounds are sure to come.

Between 1988 and 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission closed down 97 bases and realigned over 350 other bases. A hot button topic in the military field, base-closings is an important issue that affects not only soldiers, but ordinary citizens as well. Due to their massive economic significance for local and regional communities, military bases impact thousands of people, and thus encompass various political interests between local, state, and national levels. This reference work investigates the politics and key political figures involved in base-closing decisions, and considers various reasons why bases have been and continue to be closed down. An overview of the U.S. military base infrastructure as well as primary documents is included to help students understand the BRAC Commission process between 1988-2005. The book also analyzes the closure of overseas bases outside of the BRAC process. Ideal for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, this comprehensive handbook is the only complete reference guide to military base closings.

Approximately 13 years ago, in December 1988, the first military base closure commission recommended the closing and realignment of 145 US domestic bases and facilities. This action was the consequence of the Department of Defense's broad reevaluation of its mission in conjunction with the weakening and ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union. There was little need, according to the Pentagon, to continue to retain the vast Cold War-era infrastructure. Funds saved from closing down under-utilised bases, DOD further noted, could be used to enhance development of new weapons and improved readiness. Three additional rounds followed the 1988 round of infrastructure reductions in 1991, 1993, and 1995. Since then, no further rounds of base closures and realignments have been authorised by Congress, despite repeated requests from the Department of Defense in recent years for two additional rounds. The reasons for congressional resistance are two-fold. First, there is concern over a likely backlash from constituents living in or near military installations. Second, many Members of Congress remain wary about a repetition of the perceived political intrusion by the Clinton Administration that occurred in regard to the 1995 recommendations to close Kelly and McClellan air force bases. This book reveals the tension in the military facilities that may yet again be up for closure. Also discussed are the issues members of Congress feel need be answered before conducting a new round of base closures, when the national security environment is uncertain.
