handle is hein.gao/gaocrptawoq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: SpGAO Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 April 1, 2008 Congressional Committees Subject: Defense Infrastructure: DOD Funding for Infrastructure and Road Improvements Surrounding Growth Installations The Department of Defense (DOD) is simultaneously implementing a number of force realignments that contribute to personnel growth at military installations throughout the United States. DOD plans to execute over 800 actions from the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round, which entail relocating over 123,000 personnel. Concurrent with its BRAC 2005 actions, DOD is also implementing or planning to implement other extensive worldwide transformation initiatives, which include relocating about 50,000 soldiers primarily from Europe and Korea to the United States;' transforming the Army's force structure from an organization based on divisions to more rapidly deployable, brigade-based units (known as Army modularity); and increasing its active duty end strength by 92,000,2 all of which will affect DOD's facilities infrastructure. These force realignments will result in dramatic growth at some DOD installations across the United States. Based on data provided by the services, the DOD Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) had identified, as of January 2008, 20 locations where expected growth as a result of force realignments in fiscal years 2006 through 20123 will adversely affect surrounding communities. 'About 15,000 of these soldiers are included in the 123,000 personnel mentioned above. The Army plans to relocate the remaining soldiers in realignment actions not related to BRAC. 2The Army plans to seek an increase in its active duty end strength of 65,000 and the Marine Corps plans to seek an increase in active duty end strength of 27,000 over the next several years.
