What are the annual recurring savings for the consolidation of the media activities at Fort Meade?
In February 2007, the Army, as Business Plan Manager, with input from the Navy, Air Force and AFIS, estimated the annual recurring savings of $9.4M per year beginning in FY12. These savings are generally attributed to reduced personnel costs due to position eliminations already taken by each of the Services. There is also some savings due to reduced facility maintenance costs. At present, the Military Services are updating their plans and budgets. We expect to get a new estimate of savings in February 2008 when the President’s FY 09 Budget is presented to Congress. We fully expect there will be other benefits of consolidation that are yet to be quantified. These benefits may include increased efficiency in procurement of equipment and contracts, wider information sharing between print, broadcast, Web, visual information and other media, and better coordination across the DoD public affairs enterprise.
