the construction of the facilities. The new AFRC shall have the capability to accommodate Montana National Guard units

units.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE JUSTIFICATION
This recommendation transforms Reserve Component facilities throughout the State of Montana. The implementation of
this recommendation will enhance military value, improve homeland defense capability, greatly improve training and
deployment capability, create significant efficiencies and cost savings, and is consistent with the Army's force structure plans
and Army transformational objectives.
This recommendation is the result of a state-wide analysis of Reserve Component installations and facilities conducted by a
team of functional experts from Headquarters, Department of the Army, the Office of the State Adjutant General, and the
Army Reserve Regional Readiness Command.
This recommendation closes two US Army Reserve Centers and one Army Maintenance Support Activity in the State of
Montana and constructs two Armed Forces Reserve Centers capable of accommodating National Guard and Reserve units.
This recommendation reduces the number of separate DoD installations by relocating to an existing base. The Department
understands that the State of Montana will close one Montana Army National Guard Armory in Missoula, MT. The Armed
Forces Reserve Centers will have the capability to accommodate these units if the state decides to relocate the units from
these closed facilities into the new AFRCs.
