Of course as BRAC is about political maneuvering as much as it is about the logic of defending the nation, It is easy to say it happened. I am wondering about the ramifications though.

I was hoping this group might have opinions on how such a closure might effect the nations defense plans. For example what other bases might take some of the load. How reserve plans might be affected(It is a Reserve HQ if I recall correctly). Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks.
Close the facility that designed and built the M102 and M198 Howitzers, and rebuilt the M107s into M110s??? Heresy!!!! BURN THE WITCH!!!
