Why we conduct BRACs: Why we conduct BRACs BRAC allows the U.S., the Dept of Defense, the Services, (like the USAF) to reduce excess real property, infrastructure and to consolidate missions to improve support for the warfighter—better, faster, cheaper
First BRAC occurred at the end of the Cold War
The 2005 BRAC was the 5th BRAC conducted in the USAF since mid-80s

Summary -- BRAC: Summary -- BRAC BRAC recommendations provide Air Force and AFMC a much-needed opportunity to reduce excess real property, infrastructure and consolidate missions to improve support for the warfighter
Impact to the Dayton area is significant and positive!
$360M in construction projects by 2010
3800 new workers and family members by 2011
Highly educated and specialized workforce

How BRAC Impacts AFMC: How BRAC Impacts AFMC Closes Brooks City-Base TX
Closes Air Force Research Lab, Mesa AZ
Consolidates AF Research Lab Directorates across USA
Assigns Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Training (flight and maintenance) responsibilities to Eglin AFB FL
Realigns Army 7th Special Forces Group to Eglin AFB FL
Realigns aircraft at Air Logistics centers (ALCs) at Tinker AFB OK, Hill AFB UT, Robins AFB GA)
Transfers DoD-wide storage and supply functions at ALCs to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
Consolidates most AF transactional civilian personnel functions at Randolph AFB TX
Why Do We Do BRACs?: Why Do We Do BRACs? End of Cold War and budget shortfalls have driven the entire military structure to a fraction of our size in the mid-1980s
Since 1989, USAF strength (manpower) alone has declined 46%
~ 827,000 manpower authorizations in 1989
Projections: ~ 546,000 by the end of 2011
BRAC allows the United States, the Department of Defense, the Services, (like the U.S. Air Force) to reduce excess real property, infrastructure and consolidate missions to improve support for the warfighter—better, faster, cheaper
This is the 5th BRAC conducted in the USAF since mid-80s
AF Manpower Reductions, 1989-2011 : FY89-11: -46.1% AF Manpower Reductions, 1989-2011
Impact to WPAFB : Impact to WPAFB Vision:
WPAFB will become the United States Air Force Center of Excellence for Sensors and Human Effectiveness, as well as a world-class institute for all aerospace medical research, education, and training.
