This study examines available information on base
closures. A determination is made as to the criteria for
and the effects of these closures. The criteria developed
include costs to the federal government, local economic
impact, political impact, environmental impact and the
impact on defense readiness. There were few detailed data
available on the criterion of costs to the federal government.
The majority of the information came from GAO evaluations
of DOD proposals to close or realign bases. There
were more data available on the criterion of local economic
impact, the majority of these data coming from the Office of
Economic Adjustment. Some data were available on the
remaining criteria, but they were mostly based on personal
opinions. The analysis attempts to draw lessons from past
base closures to assist in the assessment of future closure
decisions. However, the limited data provided little
conclusive evidence to support the criteria for decision
making.
