Kelly Support Center *sigh*
Mom is flipping because all the great deals are going to disappear along with the commissary. Looks like we might have to drive 4 hours now to get our ID cards lol. The town of Oakdale is going to be struggling now, especially since they are recovering from their worst flood in years.
I guess this was long overdue though. The missle defense station there hasn't been in use for years. They converted part of the old Radar Station (looks like the disney ball) into a weight room/Gym.

Consolidating DFAS was only a matter of time.
I'm not that familier with how the reserve centers are set up -- are they consolidating?

I suspect that they are un/underutilized since the RC reapportionment in the early 90s.
Combat units were transferred from the Reserves to the Guard, and Combat Support/CSS units were supposed to go from the Guard to the Reserves.
Unfortunately, states did not want to lose the support units, especially the ones with disaster relief capability, so they were kept by the Guard.
Now the Army Reserve is much smaller than it used to be, and probably has an excess of facilities.
Just my .02, YMVM.

I was just wondering why a National Guard Reserve Center would be on a Federal BRAC list. I thought a NG facility would be owned by the state.

Fort Bragg, NC
Recommendation: Realign Fort Bragg, NC, by relocating the 7th Special Forces Group (SFG) to Eglin AFB, FL, and by activating the 4th Brigade Combat Team (BCT), 82d Airborne Division and relocating European-based forces to Fort Bragg, NC.
Justification: This recommendation co-locates Army Special Operation Forces with Air Force Special Operations Forces at Eglin AFB, activates the 4th BCT of the 82nd Airborne Division and relocates Combat Service Support units to Fort Bragg from Europe to support the Army modular force transformation. This realignment and activation of forces enhances military value and training capabilities by locating Special Operations Forces (SOF) in locations that best support Joint specialized training needs, and by creating needed space for the additional brigade at Fort Bragg. This recommendation is consistent with and supports the Army’s Force Structure Plan submitted with the FY 06 budget, and provides the necessary capacity and capability, including surge, to support the units affected by this action.

Guess we are going to be bitches for the AF.
One lone SF COL in charge of an SFG on an installation with a USAF LTG. How long will that work? Post support year round, here we come!
Where will the ARSOF support facilities, ranges, shoothouses, CIF, etc. be located?
Glad that this will free up space on Bragg for the 4th BDE of the 82nd. Maybe they will put the Brigade in the 7th SFGA area and barracks?

They'll probably expand Camp Rudder.

Sure.
Camp Rudder, Ft Bragg, all the same to the AF.
On a brighter side, USASFC will lose half of its on-site slave labor pool.

So they are moving Naval Aviation Officer Candidate School, Limited Duty Officer School, Chief Warrant Officer School, and the Direct Commissioning Program up to Newport. That should be interesting. It's hard to find an affordable place to rent in Newport as it is. I wonder if they'll move the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory and Hospital with it?
