Book excerpt: This report describes the Department of Defense recommendations for base closures and realignments to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The recommendations were submitted by the Secretary of Defense to the Commission in April of 1991, as authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991. The recommendations were also transmitted to the Congress and filed with the Federal Register, as required by the Act. The list of military installations inside the United States for closure or realignment is based on the force structure plan and the final criteria, as required by the Act. The list includes 43 bases recommended for closure and 28 bases recommended for realignment. Total costs to implement these recommendations are expected to be $5.7 billion between fiscal years 1992 and 1997. These costs could be offset by about $1.9 billion in expected land value. Total savings during the same period are expected to be $6.5 billion. The annual recurring savings beginning in fiscal year 1998 will total about $1.7 billion. The Department of Defense is reducing and reshaping its military forces to adapt to changes in the strategic environment, and to meet the challenges and opportunities of the post-Cold War era. The changes, challenges and opportunities, as well as the new defense strategy and the forces required to implement the strategy, are described in the force structure plan which is part of this report.
