BRAC 2005 directives represent a big win for Wright-Patterson AFB and the Dayton area. About 1,200 new military and civilian positions will come to the base with the numerous transitions of units from bases in states such as Texas, Florida, Arizona, New York and Massachusetts. Arriving units will support missions in the areas of aerospace medicine research, human performance and sensors research. Approximately $332 million in construction and renovation will take place to prepare facilities to house the new missions. Overall, BRAC 2005 further amplifies Wright-Patt’s critical role to the Air Force and national security, further enhances the business climate and promises to build even greater base-community partnerships on a number of fronts.
