MEMORANDUM FOR Army Team er, BRAC Commission
SUBJECT: Issues/Concerns/Questions on Fort Monroe, VA
1. The Commission requested a TABS response to issues raised during the initial Fort
Monroe visit. The concerns outlined in the attached briefing center on three main
topics: environmental remediation costs, disposal of historic structures, and the
administrative capabilities of Fort Monroe.
2. Environmental remediation and the disposal of historic properties are BRAC
implementation issues. The Department of Defense has a legal obligation to perform
environmental restoration regardless of whether a base is closed, realigned, or remains
open. The Army is also aware that coordination with the Virginia State Historic
Preservation Office is required.
3. Fort Monroe has a robust Command & Control environment that is capable of
IV supporting several administrative tenants. However, the installations that provide the
most military value to the Army are those that are capable of supporting more than one
type of mission. Fort Eustis is capable of supporting administrative tenants while
leaving room for growth into other mission areas, such as training and mobilization. The
closure of Fort Monroe allows the Army to divest itself of unnecessary administrative
facilities while retaining other critical capabilities at Fort Eustis.
