During the last decade, the Army, like the other military departments, has been accommodating the downsizing of the defense establishment, in part by reducing its installation structure during congressionally mandated rounds of base closures and realignments. Four rounds of closures and realignments have resulted in the closure of 97 major defense installations, including 23 belonging to the Army. Many more minor installations have been closed, and others have been realigned. Nevertheless, many believe that excess installation capacity remains. Hence, more base realignments and closures (BRACs) may occur, possibly as early as 2003. The Army's process for selecting installations has remained fairly constant during the last three rounds, in 1991,1993, and 1995. The process has much to commend it and, in fact, has received the most praise of the processes of any of the three military departments. Yet the process has shortcomings and can be improved for any future rounds. This report offers ten criteria it argues should characterize an effective BRAC process and analyzes the Army's 1995 process in light of those criteria. It then goes on to suggest an improved process.

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.

A Presidio of San Francisco Closure Study began after the controversial Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988 (BRAC 88) was enacted and placed the Presidio of San Francisco on the BRAC 88 Base Closure list. The required Presidio of San Francisco Closure Study, prepared by the Headquarters, Sixth US Army staff, tried to justify the continuance of the Presidio Post. This study continued for several years but eventually was ineffective bowing to political and military pressure and interference. This Case Study complements the Presidio of San Francisco Closure Study that overlaps the same time period that planned and programmed a systematic process where both management theory and assumptions could be applied to justify improvements in management competence, organizational improvements, and cost effectiveness. This Case Study contains a chronological history of events at the Presidio of San Francisco, and reviews a crisis precipitated by the Department of Defense (DOD) action under a Congressional mandate for Post and Base closures. This caused an administrative dilemma while concurrently, trying to plan the realignment of the Headquarters, Sixth US Army staff; discontinuance of the Presidio Garrison; closing the Presidio of San Francisco as a US Army military Installation; and transferring the Presidio Post operations, repair, and maintenance activities to the US National Park Service.
