The Casualty Gap shows how the most important cost of American military campaigns--the loss of human life--has been paid disproportionately by poorer and less-educated communities since the 1950s. Drawing on a rich array of evidence, including National Archives data on the hometowns of more than 400,000 American soldiers killed in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, this book is the most ambitious inquiry to date into the distribution of American wartime casualties across the nation, the forces causing such inequalities to emerge, and their consequences for politics and democratic governance.

In Sept. 2005, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Comm. recommended that the DoD close Fort Monmouth, NJ, and realign its functions to Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. DoD must complete the closure and realignment actions specified in the recommendation within six years. In response to concerns about this move, the Comm. submitted a report that the movement of functions from Fort Monmouth to Aberdeen Proving Ground would be accomplished without disruption to their support to the Global War on Terrorism. DoD issued its report in Dec. 2007, which supported these conclusions. This report determines the status of the Army¿s planning efforts and the challenges and associated mitigation strategies.
