DoD submitted a report on the costs and savings attributable to the rounds of base realignments and closures (BRAC) conducted between 1988 and 1995 and on the need, if any, for additional BRAC rounds. This report assesses individual reporting topics, including the costs and savings of prior BRAC rounds and estimated costs and savings of future BRAC rounds, the impact of prior BRAC rounds on military capabilities, excess capacity, base reuse and economic recovery of communities affected by BRAC actions, and processes DoD would use to select bases for closure or realignment should further BRAC rounds be authorized.

Congress established clear time frames in the BRAC statute for many of the milestones involved with base closures and realignments, and BRAC 2005 took 10 years from authorization to completion. Congress authorized the BRAC 2005 round in 2001. DOD then established its own internal requirements, expressed the goals of the BRAC round, and spent about 2 years collecting data and developing a list of proposed base realignment and closure actions to submit to the independent Commission for review.

This report focuses on lessons learned from the base realignment and closure rounds held in 1988,1991,1993, and 1995. We undertook this work so that a systematic assessment of experiences would be available should the Department of Defense (DOD) request and Congress authorize additional base closure rounds. In transmitting the results of the 1997 Defense Quadrennial Review to Congress on May 19,1997, the Secretary of Defense stated his intent to ask Congress to authorize two additional base closure rounds. We are addressing this report to you in keeping with our practice of reporting to Congress on the recommendations and selection process employed by DOD in each of the three most recent base closure rounds, as initially required by the 1990 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act (P.L. 101-510). We have identified lessons related to savings, costs, and economic impact and improvements needed in DOD's process for identifying bases for realignment and closure. We have also included matters for congressional consideration if Congress contemplates legislation for future base closure rounds.
