Will communities or states that were impacted by past base closures be protected in future base closure rounds? Would their past losses be calculated in determining “cumulative economic impact”?
The Department must consider all military installations equally, without regard to whether the installation has been previously considered or proposed for closure or realignment. Additionally, the Department will do adhere to the statutory requirements regarding the selection criteria that will be used in the BRAC process, of which military value is the primary consideration. In doing so, the Department will consider “the economic impact on existing communities in the vicinity of military installations.” Application and evaluation of economic impacts will be consistently and fairly applied.
