Abstract:

Ninety-seven major military bases were recommended for closure and realignment by the 1988, 1991, 1993, and 1995 base realignment and closure BRAC commissions. Action on all 451 installations major and minor from the first four rounds was completed by the end of FY2001, as scheduled. The U.S. General Accounting Office has estimated that these closures and realignments produced net savings of about 16.7 billion as of the end of FY2001 and will continue to produce an estimated annual recurring savings thereafter of about 6.6 billion.
