reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA216774 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The closure and realignment of surplus military installations represents one method of saving defense dollars. This thesis examines the development of a cost model to define major cost categories and project an estimated payback period for closure and realignment. Costs of base closure, unit relocation, and subsequent return to full mission capability are estimated. Naval Air Station Moffett Field, California, is used as a case study. Data were compiled using local information sources. A comparison between the methodology developed in this study and the cost estimation model used by the Defense Secretarys Commission on Base Realignment and Closure is provided. Conclusions on base closure management issues and directions for future research are listed in the final chapter. Keywords Base closure Cost modeling NAS Moffett field Theses.
