669COMMISSIONER BOWMAN: Thank
you.
MR. BROWN: I would Like to
point out two things, if I may, to you. You
will see that what the Army has done here --
and of course it's at the direction of the
Department of Defense or the Office of the
Secretary of Defense -- the potential costs
for cleaning up the property are not included
in the return on investment calculation.
COMMISSIONER BOWM: That's
obvious.
MR. BROWN : And second of aLl,
even though this is a commcnd and control
installation, the Army's alternative moves the
activities to installations in another
category. It doesn't keep it within the sane.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: We
understand.
Any further discussion?
COMMISSIONER COX: Mr. Boman
raised this before, but Let me ask you. Do
you feel comfortable with these rnubers as to
Fort Monroe?
MR. BROWN: I feet comfortable
with these numbers.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Any further
discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COURTER: I'lL
entertain a motion.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Mr.
Chairmen, I will move the Commission consider
Fort Monroe, Virginia, as a proposed addition
to the Secretary's List of military
installations recommended for closure or
reel i garnet.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Do I hear a
second?
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON: Second.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: The motion
has been properly seconded. WIe'll have votes.
We'll start out to my right with Commissioner
Peter Bowman.
COMMISSIONER BOMAN: Aye.
COWIISSIONER COX: Aye.
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Aye.
GEM JOHNSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Counsel?
MS. CHESTON: Mr. Chairmen, on
the motion that the Commission consider Fort
Monroe, Virginia, as a proposed addition to
the Secretary's List of military installations
recommended for closure or realignment, the
final vote is seven in favor, zero against;
the motion passes.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: We'll
proceed to the next category and the next
base.
M R. BROWN: Chart 25-4 shows
the relative locations of Fort McPherson and
Fort Gillsta. The Army also looked at the
closure of both Fort McPherson and Fort Gillsm
in the preliminary phases of its work. Since
it determined that the iminent force
structure decisions would significantly impacttactical and sport forces assigned to forces
commend, the Army decided it would not be
prudent to consider any relocation of forces
commend from Fort McPherson during this
period.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Say that
again, please?
MR. BROWN: Since the Army
determined that: the imminent force structure
decisions woucl significantly impact tactical
and support forces assigned to forces coand,
the Army decided it would not be prudent to
consider any relocation during this period.
Also, the Army determined
that, since the space at Fort GiLtem is
required to supplement the deficit of
facilities at Fort McPherson, the closure of
Fort Gitsea was not feasible until action was
taken to correct those deficits. The costs --
CHAIRMAN COURTER: What type
of deficits are! we talking about there?
MR. BROWN: I wiLL get into
that in a minute, Mr. Chairman.
The costs and savings
associated with closing Fort Gilles and
relocating activities to Fort McPherson and
Fort Stewart, Georgia, and with closing Fort
McPherson and relocating activities to Fort
Hood, Texas, were developed at the staff's
request. But since these were provided,
again, only yesterday, we have not had the
opportunity to analyze them. And,
Commissioner Boan, I would put these nmters
in the questionable category.
From chart 26-L, which shows
the facility requirements of Fort Gillm and
available assets at Fort Stewart and Fort
McPherson and the costs and savings shown in
the chart on 23 right, i t is apparent that
Fort Giles cannot relocate to Fort McPherson,
and another alternative for the gaining
installation needs to be examined.
From chart 27-L, which shows
the facility re uirements at Fort McPherson
and available assets at Fort Hood and the
costs and savings shown on chart 23-R, it is
apparent that Fort McPherson could relocate to
Fort Hood. But another alternative for the
gaining installation needs to be examined
because of the questionable return on
investment.
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON:
Excuse me, Ed. If you take this 27-L, that
says, "Fort McPherson requirements, 47,000
square feet in operations buiLdings." That's
what they require Fort Hood has available?
MR. BROWN: It currently has a
deficit of over 900,000 square feet, so -
COMMI SSI!ONER BOWI4AN: That
means i t doesn' t have enough --
MR. BROWNM: For what's there
today.
COMMISSIONER '4CPHERSON: Fort
Hood doesn't have enough for what' s there
today?
MR. BROWN: But it does have
buaildable acres, if you will see down on the
bottom ruater !inl that chart.
