questions?CHAIRMAN COJRTER: Any further
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COJRTER: Do I hear
any motions? I'll entertain a motion with
respect to Fort Richardson.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COURTER: I hear no
motions. We' l move.
MR. BROWN: Chart 7- and the
accompanying map,
7-L.
CHAIRMAN CCURTER: Say that
again? I'm sorry.
MR. BROWN: Chart 7-R and the
accomanying map,
7-L, show the Army's 13 initial entry training
and branch school installations.
CHAIRMAN COJRTER: CouLd you
just suspend until we find all this stuff?
I think we can proceed.
MR. BROWN: Chart 8-R shows
the Army's military value ranking of the bases
and their relative scores within the category.
Fort Bliss, Fort Berning, and Fort Knox scored
in the 6 to 7 plus range; Forts Sill, Leonard
Wood, Gordon, Jackson, Sam Houston, and
McClellan are in the 4 to 5 range; and Forts
Rucker, Lee, Huachuca, and Eustis and StoryMR. BROWN: They total about
8,000 soldiers.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Did
Wainwright ever have two brigades?
MR. BRON: I don't know the
answer to that question, Mr. Chairman.
COI ISSIONER STUART: Ed, will
you comment on -- we often have heard this
additional capacity was available for troops
coming back from the Pacific. Is that a
factor fn surge and reqairements of any one
facility? In other words, if we consolidate
per the idea suggested, would there be surge
capacity for troops coming back from Korea or
Japan?
MR. BROWN: There are no
maneuver troops in Japan. There is one
division in Korea, the 2nd Infantry Division.
It is a mechanized division. And these two
installations are for light forces. I believe
CSIMSSIONER STUART: So it
doesn't fit?
MR. BROWN: That's correct,
Commissioner Stuart.
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Ed, let
me ask you, at Wainwright, you have an
enormous area for training and for
maneuvering, especially in a winter
environment. If that was increased by closing
Richardson with the brigade -- which we're
talking about a brigade that's supposed to go
away -- do you have the space there for the
training of other units to come into the
facility if you close Richardson and only
leave Wainwright remaining?
MR. BROWN: I believe that is
correct, Commissioner Byron.
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Thankare the lowest ranking bases.
Chart 9-R shows each
installation with the branch specialties that
are trained at the installation, the Left-hand
column being the name of the installation; the
second column being the specialties. For
example, at Fort Bening, that's the home of
the infantry.
In addition, this chart shows
the projected average deity student Load at
each installation in fiscal year 1997.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Which
column is that?
MR. BROWN: These are in the
other columns on the chart, Mr. Chairman.
As an example, it means that
on any given day, there would be 10,666
trainees at Fort Benning; 6,147 of those would
be in advanced individual training; 2,506
would be in noncommissioned officer training;
and 2,013 would be in officer training.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Do you have
another chart that would show capacities?
MR. BROWN: I will get into
capacities, Mr. Chairman.
I would will I can to add that
the training Loads in this chart are
consistent with the 12 division force
structure.
With the next series of
charts, i want to show what initial entry
training and branch school bases have excess
capacity in particular facility categories.
First, in chart 9-L, you can see that at each
basic training installation, there is some W
excess in particular facility categories.
It would appear that there is
some opportunity for consolidating basic
training on fewer installations, but the Army
has not made any recomendat ion to the
Commission to do so. Likewise, chart 10-L
shows that at the combat arms and combat
support arms branch schools, there appears to
be some opportunity for consolidation, due to
the fact that there is excess capacity in
various facility categories.
Chart 11-L shows the save to
be true for combat service support branch
schools. Nevertheless, the only DOD
recommendation in this category is to close
Fort McCleLan, relocate the chemical and
military police schools and the DOD Polygraph
institute to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri;
transfer Pelham Range, which is near Fort
McClellan, and other required support training
facilities to the Alabama National Guard;
retain an enclave to sport the U.S. Army
Reserves; and retain the capability for live
agent training at Fort McClellan.
Commit ss ioners have recomended
that t he staff study t.he closure of Fort
Leonard Wood as a candidate for further
consideration as an alternative to the DOD
recommendation and to study the closure of
Fort Lee, Virginia, f or further consideration
as an addition to the DOI) recommendation.
Chart 12-B and the
accowmpanying soap 12-L will permi t us to
discuss the Fort Leonard Wood alternative.
