Commission Findings
The Commission agreed with the Community that relocating the Chemical and
Biological Defense mission from Dahlgren to Aberdeen, MD would not provide
more jointness and synergy, but in fact would destroy the critical Navy testing
and training capability. The Commission found that the Department of Defense
over-valued the creation of a joint center of excellence for Chem-Bio RD&A. If
this realignment was left as proposed by the Secretary it would actually diminish
fleet readiness, and operational capabilities of the Navy.
Commission Recommendation
The Commission finds the Secretary of Defense deviated substantially from final
criteria 1,3, and 4 and therefore recommends the following: Create a Joint Center
of Excellence for Chemical/Biological Defense and make the Naval District
Washington, West Area, Dahlgren Team a Joint Center detachment.2
