BRAC realigns, joins services by Dennis Ryan Pentagram staff writer A seemingly innocuous acronym, BRAC, standing for Base Realignment and Closure, will now be etched indelibly along with a case of triskadekaphobia in communities across the country. The Department of Defense announced the names of bases recommended to be closed and those to be realigned at a Pentagon press briefing May 13. The committee recommended 33 major military installations in the United States be closed and for 29 more to be realigned. They also slated the closure or realignment of 775 smaller installations. ... ... The recommendations are all part of the department's plan to have a leaner, more agile, joint force .. .. During past rounds of BRAC more than 80 percent of the recommended closings were approved by the commission.>>
