Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and Organizational Restructuring in the DOD
Author: Dina G. Levy
language: en
Publisher: Minnesota Historical Society
Release Date: 2004
The Department of Defense (DoD) often improves its efficiency by consolidating facilities (mainly through base realignment and closure, or BRAC) and changing its governance structure. These shifts significantly affect the education, training, and development (ET&D) institutions that support DoD personnel, with such impact as relocation. With an eye toward the 2005 BRAC, RAND researchers look at four case studies of the 1990s and from them make recommendations for ET&D institutions that may be affected by future shifts in defense infrastructure.

Military Base Closure

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2006-11-30
Between 1988 and 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission closed down 97 bases and realigned over 350 other bases. A hot button topic in the military field, base-closings is an important issue that affects not only soldiers, but ordinary citizens as well. Due to their massive economic significance for local and regional communities, military bases impact thousands of people, and thus encompass various political interests between local, state, and national levels. This reference work investigates the politics and key political figures involved in base-closing decisions, and considers various reasons why bases have been and continue to be closed down. An overview of the U.S. military base infrastructure as well as primary documents is included to help students understand the BRAC Commission process between 1988-2005. The book also analyzes the closure of overseas bases outside of the BRAC process. Ideal for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, this comprehensive handbook is the only complete reference guide to military base closings.

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and Organizational Restructuring in the DoD: Implications for Education and Training Infrastructure
Two major ways in which the Department of Defense (DoD) strives to improve its efficiency is through the consolidation of defense facilities and changes in its governance structure (e.g., reorganization of defense agencies or field activities). Both types of initiatives can have significant effects on the governance structure and physical infrastructure of institutions that offer education, training, and development (ET AND D) to DoD personnel. In anticipation of future DoD efficiency improvement efforts, the DoD Office of the Chancellor for Education and Professional Development asked the RAND Corporation to examine the ways in which selected ET AND D institutions have been affected by past initiatives. This document reviews the experiences of four institutions. Two of these institutions, the Defense Information School (DINFOS) and the DoD Polygraph Institute (DoDPI), experienced significant changes in their infrastructure in the 1990s. The other two institutions, the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) and the National Geospatial Intelligence College (NGC), did not experience much change during that decade. For each case study site, the authors document the rationale and processes that preceded decisions about infrastructure change, describe the institutional context at the time of the proposed change, provide a detailed account of the change process in cases where change occurred, and generate an assessment of the effects of changes on the institution's effectiveness and efficiency. The authors conclude with a summary of lessons learned from the case studies and recommendations to institutional leaders and sponsors faced with decisions about infrastructure change.
