Why was IGPBS incorporated into BRAC analysis?
A3. BRAC provided the opportunity to review the stationing of Army force structure in a holistic manner, merging the analysis of basing decisions for units returning from overseas, modularity and existing force structure already in the Continental United States (CONUS) to achieve an integrated and optimal solution. The SecDef, in his IGPBS decisions, identified the units returning from overseas; this information was incorporated into the analysis of our installation portfolio to generate the best basing decisions to support training and deployment for army combat units and their support structure.
