RESERVE COMPONENT TRANSFORMATION IN MICHIGAN
RECOMMENDATION # 26 (ARMY 55)
ONE-TIME COST: S7.9M
ANNUAL RECURRING COSTS/(SAVINGS): ($2.1M)
20-YEAR NET PRESENT VALUE: ($21.6M)
PAYBACK PERIOD: 3 YEARS
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE RECOMMENDATION
Close the US Army Reserve Center Stanford C. Parisian in Lansing, MI, and the Army Reserve Area Maintenance Support
Activity #135 in Battle Creek, MI, and relocate units to a new Armed Forces Reserve Center on Fort Custer Reserve
Training Center, MI.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE JUSTIFICATION
This recommendation transforms Reserve Component facilities in the State of Michigan. 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 one Army Reserve Center in Lansing, MI, and one Area Maintenance Support Activity in
Battle Creek, MI, and constructs a multifunctional Armed Forces Reserve Center (AFRC) capable of accommodating
Reserve units. This recommendation reduces the number of separate DoD installations by relocating to a new AFRC.
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 $9.OM 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.
