Between 1988 and 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)
Commission closed down 97 bases and realigned over 350 other bases.
A hot button topic in the military field, base-closings is an
important issue that affects not only soldiers, but ordinary
citizens as well. Due to their massive economic significance for
local and regional communities, military bases impact thousands of
people, and thus encompass various political interests between
local, state, and national levels. This reference work investigates
the politics and key political figures involved in base-closing
decisions, and considers various reasons why bases have been and
continue to be closed down. An overview of the U.S. military base
infrastructure as well as primary documents is included to help
students understand the BRAC Commission process between 1988-2005.
The book also analyzes the closure of overseas bases outside of the
BRAC process. Ideal for high school, undergraduate, and graduate
students, this comprehensive handbook is the only complete
reference guide to military base closings. Between 1988 and 1995,
