BRAC at Fort Belvoir, 1988-2011 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481955072)

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) is the term applied to the actions authorized by Congress to close or realign certain military installations. The purpose of these actions was to bring the military's base structure in line with its force structure. To achieve this goal, Congress passed Public Law (PL) 100-526 in October 1988, establishing the 1988 Defense Secretary's Commission. Later, to create a more fair and reviewable BRAC process, Congress enacted PL 101-510, which established an independent commission to examine the proposals offered by the Department of Defense. The history of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) at Fort Belvoir, which ran from 1988 through 2011, is a varied story, and one that needs telling. This history includes not only the on-post story of all the planning, implementation and construction; but also provides an examination of all the political considerations and interactions among local leaders, the media and the surrounding communities. This is an important story, and provides many lessons learned for all concerned.
