BRAC 2005: The criteria

Saturday, January 10, 2004

Economic impact will be a factor in the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process as we enter another round of base closings.

But economic impact will not be among the primary factors that will govern the process. Instead, the BRAC Commission will examine the military value of various defense installations.

These decisions are reflected in the preliminary guidelines published by the Commission. We are now in the public comment period. These guidelines will be finalized by mid-February. Read more.

The BRAC process follows a very specific set of steps.

December 31, 2003: Secretary of Defense publishes draft selection criteria
March 15, 2005: President nominates BRAC Commissioners
May 16, 2005: Secretary of Defense submits closure recommendations
September 8, 2005: Commission submits report to President
November 7, 2005: President submits recommendations to Congress
