Why the Army’s Army is Important
We can’t kid ourselves – it’s not going to be easy. If we want to keep these families from moving to places like Pinehurst or Raleigh, we’re going to have to step up. We need to actively demonstrate and prove to these families that there’s no other community in the world that welcomes, appreciates and supports them more than Cumberland County. The Army’s Army was specifically created for this very purpose. By joining the Army’s Army, you can make Cumberland County the most attractive place for prospective military families to live. Don’t just say you support the troops – show it. Join the Army’s Army for the good of home and your county. The economic fate of Cumberland County rests upon your shoulders.
Status of BRAC legislation: The BRAC commission report was delivered to the president of the United States on September 8, 2005. He approved the report on September 15. Congress had 45 legislative days to act on the legislation, which they did not, and the BRAC legislation automatically became law on November 8, 2005. The BRAC commission terminated on April 15, 2006. The next BRAC is scheduled for 2015.
Fort Bragg: The BRAC Commission approved the Department of Defense (DoD) recommendations: Gains Headquarters US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and Headquarters US Army Reserve Command (USARC) from Fort McPherson, GA (projected increase of 2,411). Relocates 7th Special Forces Group to Eglin AFB, FL (decrease of 1,753); Activates 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division (increase of 2,430); and relocates European-based forces to Fort Bragg (increase of 20).
Other non-BRAC changes (military/civilian personnel changes) at Ft. Bragg are: Unit conversions, increase of 2,088; USASOC transformation, increase of 2,406; Stationing changes, decrease of -1,707); Ft. Bliss Air Defense unit (increase of 1,373).

| Military: | 5,377 | |
| Family Members (Mil): | 9,679 | |
| Civilians: | 1,438 | |
| Contractors: | 351 |
Timing estimate:
Military Construction (Milcon) to build suitable headquarters for FORSCOM and USARC will be required prior to the headquarters move to Ft Bragg. Best estimates are that the move will be phased, with the first move in 2008 and completion by 2011. The 4th BCT is already established as facilities are under construction. The 7th SFG move will depend on timing for military construction of new facilities at Eglin AFB. Other transformation changes are on-going.
Pope Air Force Base:
The DoD recommendations were amended by the BRAC Commission to add an active duty Air Operations Group and move the 440th Air Reserve Component Wing from Detroit to Pope AFB. The BRAC actions will relocate 25 C-130Es from Pope AFB to Little Rock AFB and 36 A-10s to Moody AFB, and establish an Air Force reserve/active duty associate unit of 16 C-130H aircraft at Pope. The BRAC Commission rejected the DoD recommendation to eliminate entirely the Air Force command structure at Bragg/Pope and instead directed the establishment of an Air Force “Air Operations Group” to oversee the associate unit and other airlift functions. The Commission’s amendment did not specify how many personnel will be in the group and precisely how it will be structured. The Site Activation Task Force report from June 2006, indicated that the AOG will consist of approximately 1,100 active duty AF personnel. There are approximately 800 active duty AF personnel remaining in tenant units such as the 18th Air Support Operations Group, which directly support Army operations. Including approximately 400 full time Reserve technicians, the Air Force presence at Pope AFB will be close to 2,500 active duty or full time personnel and 1,200 AF reservists.
Timing Estimate:
Air Mobility Command will move the C-130Es that are non-operational or destined for retirement, as soon as possible. Expect anywhere from one third to one half of the fleet to depart in the spring of 2007, with the remaining aircraft departing by the end of 2007 or early 2008. Manpower will be reduced at Pope as this occurs. Best estimate for the wing to stand down is early spring of 2008. The active duty Air Operations Group and the AFRC associate/reserve squadron should both activate as the wing stands down.

BRAC FAQs
What is BRAC?
“BRAC” is an acronym that stands for Base Realignment and Closure. It is the congressionally authorized process the Department of Defense (DoD) has previously used to reorganize its base structure to more efficiently and effectively support our forces, increase operational readiness and facilitate new ways of doing business. (The original legislation actually states that the title of the process is Base Closure and Realignment.)
What are some of the major elements of the BRAC 2005 process and what will ensure it will be fair?
The process began with a threat assessment of the future national security environment, followed by the development of a force structure plan and basing requirements to meet these threats. DoD then applied legally mandated selection criteria to determine which installations to recommend for realignment and closure. The Secretary of Defense will publish a report containing his realignment and closure recommendations, forwarding supporting documentation to the independent commission.
What is transformation?
According to the Department’s April 2003 Transformation Planning Guidance document, transformation is "a process that shapes the changing nature of military competition and cooperation through new combinations of concepts, capabilities, people and organizations that exploit our nation's advantages and protect against our asymmetric vulnerabilities to sustain our strategic position, which helps underpin peace and stability in the world."
Why is DoD transforming?
Over time, the defense strategy calls for the transformation of the U.S. Defense establishment. Transformation is at the heart of this strategy. To transform DoD, we need to change its culture in many important areas. Our budgeting, acquisition, personnel and management systems must be able to operate in a world that changes rapidly. Without change, the current defense program will only become more expensive in the future and DoD will forfeit many of the opportunities available today.
How is BRAC transformational?
BRAC provides a singular opportunity to reshape our infrastructure to optimize military readiness. The 2005 BRAC process will help find innovative ways to consolidate, realign or find alternative uses for current facilities to ensure that the U.S. continues to field the best-prepared and best-equipped military in the world. BRAC 2005 will also enable the U.S. military to better match facilities to forces, meet the threats and challenges of a new century and make the wisest use of limited defense dollars.
What benefit does the Department anticipate from a future BRAC round?
The Department will be able to divest itself of unnecessary installation infrastructure and use the resultant savings for improving fighting capabilities and quality of life for military forces. This will allow the Department to rationalize installation infrastructure with 21st century national security imperatives.
How will BRAC 2005 be different from past rounds?
BRAC 2005 is dramatically different from previous rounds. Because we are on our fifth round of BRAC, the nature of the excess capacity has changed. Most of the excess capacity today is more fragmented and often in the form of underused facilities. This suggests that savings can be achieved by sharing facilities to a greater extent. Excess capacity is defined as underused or unused facilities and/or infrastructure. Today, greater emphasis is being placed on reshaping the Department as opposed to simple cost cutting. There also is greater emphasis on jointness--selecting the appropriate organizations from two or more services to share facilities in the right location can significantly improve combat effectiveness while reducing costs. It also generates a more powerful military through appropriate basing. Jointness at every level will play a much greater role in this round of BRAC.
Why do we need a BRAC round?
The Department’s position that significant excess capacity remains in the defense infrastructure is supported by independent agencies. The specific level of excess is very dependent on the assumptions used in the analysis. Past experience indicates that more extensive study of joint basing use and cross-service functional analysis could further increase the level of excess through better utilization of the remaining infrastructure.
The Department estimates that a future BRAC round, based on the costs and savings experiences of BRACs 93/95 and a reduction in installation infrastructure of approximately 20 percent, could generate approximately $7 billion of annual recurring savings in today’s dollars. Resources currently being spent on excess installation infrastructure could be allocated to higher priority requirements, such as efforts to modernize weapons, enhance quality of life, and improve readiness.
Additionally, another BRAC round will afford the Department a significant transformation opportunity. September 11, 2001, reinforced the imperative to convert excess capacity into warfighting ability. The performance of our forces in Iraq underscores the benefit of transformational war fighting. The Department must be allowed to reconfigure its infrastructure to best support the transformation of our warfighting capability. The Department must be allowed the opportunity to assess its installation infrastructure to ensure it is best sized and placed to support emerging mission requirements for our national security needs.
Why would we close U.S. installations before we close overseas installations?
BRAC, of course, only applies to our military facilities in the United States. As we transform the Department, we didn't think it made much sense to look just at our domestic facilities so we coupled the BRAC process with our Global Force Posture Review, which in essence is a BRAC process for our internationally-based forces. The result is the relocation of troops to the United States from abroad and several other related changes made domestically to ensure unit cohesion, as well as realignment for the 21st century. (Dollar amounts will be available when the secretary's recommendations are announced.)
How much has been saved through previous BRAC rounds?
The four previous BRAC rounds have eliminated approximately 20 percent of DoD's capacity that existed in 1988 and, through 2001, produced net savings of approximately $17.7 billion, which includes the cost of environmental cleanup. Recurring savings beyond 2001 are approximately $7 billion annually. In independent studies conducted over previous years, both the Government Accountability Office and the Congressional Budget Office have consistently supported the department's view that realigning and closing unneeded military installations produces savings that far exceed costs.
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 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.
How have local communities affected by installation closures fared overall?
Base Realignments and Closures cause near-term social and economic disruption. However, there are many success stories from previous closures. A base closure can actually be an economic opportunity, especially when all elements of a community work together. While each closure or realignment has different consequences and/or results, some recent examples include:
- Charleston Naval Base, S.C. - The local community, assisted by DoD, was able to create approximately 4,500 new jobs. Approximately 90 private, state and federal entities are currently reusing the former naval base.
- Pease Air Force Base, N.H. - More than 185 operating tenants currently established at the Pease International Tradeport (PIT). The PIT has been designated a Foreign Free Trade Zone by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and has developed an air cargo access capability via an 11,300-foot runway. There is in excess of 3,800,000 square feet of new, or newly renovated space, that has supported the creation of over 5,000 jobs, in bio technology (Lonza Biotechnics), education (Southern New Hampshire University), in addition to a wide variety (Pan Am, Marriott, Redhook Brewery) of retail and professional service availability day-to-day.
- Fort Devens, Mass. - More than 3,000 new jobs have been generated and 2.7 million square feet of new construction has occurred. With 68 different employers on site, redevelopment ranges from small business incubators to the Gillette Corp., which occupies a large warehouse/distribution center and manufacturing plant.
An example of a position a potential relocator might hold would be a colonel within FORSCOM, the largest command of the United States Army. In this role, the colonel would oversee the training, mobilization, deployment, sustaining and reconstitution of 5,000 combat-ready Army forces capable of responding rapidly to crises worldwide.
There are thousands of high-level colonels and their families who will be faced with the dilemma of choosing between two options: be transferred to Fort Bragg and hold their current position and salary or find something else to do. For them, moving isn't the issue, making the right decision is. What’s more, with the military comes the civilian contractors and other employees who will no longer have a base to call home.
Given that many hold high-ranking, serious jobs, most of the target is fairly affluent and, with a median income of $80,000, is used to a comfortable lifestyle. Their families mean a lot to them, and most have children and some even have grandchildren. In addition to the military, spouses will more than likely find a job somewhere in the area, as well as evaluate housing, schools, entertainment options, neighborhood safety, etc.
Many came through Bragg as privates or in some other capacity during Vietnam, and still hold onto Fayetteville’s bad reputation as FayetteNam. Strip clubs, pawnshops, used car dealerships taking advantage of them – they were all there, and it’s not something we can hide from. As they rely heavily on word-of-mouth from colleagues, friends, realtors and the Internet, there is a persistent aura of negativity surrounding Fayetteville that our surrounding counties aren’t faced with, and one that we as a community must work together to combat. A quick scan of the web reveals the ugly – this quote was taken from a forum as a response to what Fayetteville is like: “It’s not an attractive, clean or peaceful place to live.” Our competitors do their best to sell a dream of a better place to live – vacation at home, close to everything, city living, while we must overcome perception. Perceptions, not facts, are the primary driver.
According to one military wife, “Home is where the Army sends us.” When making a moving decision, they’re forced to wade through an overwhelming plethora of choices when all they want is a nice affordable house and services they can use. While there’s no substitute for being here, we’re giving them the tools that make the decision simpler.
We are a nurturing community built around an understanding of their lifestyle, one that truly makes Cumberland County feel like home, and that’s the mission of the Army’s Army.
Fayetteville/Cumberland County has changed and once someone visits, they know it. From available services and amenities, such as theater productions, museums, parks, trails, golf courses and a host of events, they’ll have a tough time choosing what to do in their free time. Of all the areas competing for their attention, we’re the one that’s been through the trenches with them time after time. In addition to a short commute, our infrastructure for their arrival is already in place... and we know how to cater to their families to make them feel special. With programs like Fayetteville Cares, Police Deployment House Checks and family support groups, they’ll see exactly how our strength is in our people, and most of us are just like them.
Here in Fayetteville, we’re not interested in the notion of a military town as a pass-through community and a look at the statistics proves it. Fayetteville has the third largest veteran population in the U.S. and the highest concentration of Vietnam vets, so we mean it when we say we want them to stick around.
