Base Realignment and Closure

"A successful BRAC 2005 is most important to the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense, and to the Nation. It may well be our last opportunity in the foreseeable future both to reduce excess infrastructure (and thus be able to move scarce dollars to areas that result in increasingly-improved readiness) and to transform the infrastructure that remains in a manner that reflects the changing mission and force structure needs of the 21st Centrury. We owe it to all Americans--particularly our Sailors and Marines--to make the most of this opportunity."
