This recommendation reduces military manpower and associated costs for maintaining existing facilities by closing one
Armed Forces Reserve Center, and moving two major commands onto Active Army installations, thus significantly reducing
operating costs and creating improved business processes.
This recommendation considered feasible locations within the demographic and geographic areas of the closing facilities and
affected units. The sites selected were determined as the best locations because they optimize the Reserve Components'
ability to recruit and retain Reserve Component soldiers and to train and mobilize units affected by this recommendation.
This recommendation provides the opportunity for other Local, State, or Federal organizations to partner with the Reserve
Components to enhance homeland security and homeland defense at a reduced cost to those agencies.
Although not captured in the COBRA analysis, this recommendation avoids an estimated $13.1M in mission facility
renovation costs and procurement avoidances associated with meeting AT/FP construction standards and altering existing
facilities to meet unit training and communications requirements. Consideration of these avoided costs would reduce costs
and increase the net savings to the Department of Defense in the 6-year BRAC implementation period and in the 20-year
period used to calculate NPV.

homeland defense capability, greatly improve training and deployment capability, create significant efficiencies and cost
