Excerpt: Joint Base Andrews is a United States military facility located in Prince George's County, Maryland. The facility is under the jurisdiction of the United States Air Force 11th Wing, Air Force District of Washington (AFDW). The base is named for Lieutenant General Frank Maxwell Andrews (1884-1943), former Commanding General of United States Forces in the European Theater of Operations during World War II. Andrews is widely known for serving as the home base of two Boeing VC-25A aircraft with the call sign Air Force One that serve the President of the United States. For statistical purposes the base is delineated as a census-designated place by the U.S. Census Bureau. As of the 2010 census, the resident population was 2,973. The facility is an amalgamation of the United States Air Force Andrews Air Force Base and the United States Navy Naval Air Facility Washington which were merged on 1 October 2009. Joint Base Andrews was established in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The legislation ordered the consolidation of the facilities which were adjoining, but separate military installations, into a single Joint Base, one of 12 formed in the United States as a result of the law. The host unit at Andrews is the 11th Wing (11 WG), assigned to the Air Force District of Washington. A non-flying wing, the 11 WG is responsible for maintaining...

The Department of Defense(DOD) spends about one third of its operations and maintenance budget for base support services and functions. Pressure to continue reducing the DOD budget will continue. This study maintains that it is no longer efficient or effective to maintain separate Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps military bases. DOD must start now to transition to consolidated, joint military bases as power projection platforms for the 21st century. This paper examines the resources that could be saved by consolidating military bases that are adjacent or in close proximity to one another. It also examines how the concept of joint military bases will enhance the effectiveness of joint military operations. Challenges and solutions to consolidating military bases are also addressed.
GAO designated Dept. of Defense (DOD) support infrastructure as a high-risk area to address efficiency challenges. In 2005, DOD recommended to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Comm. combining 26 installations into 12 joint bases to generate efficiencies and cost savings, initially estimated to be $2.3 billion. In 2009, DOD reduced this estimate to $273 million. DOD's joint basing initiative -- with five joint bases established in 2009 and the remaining seven bases established in 2010 -- created 12 joint bases from the 26 previously stand-alone installations that were originally operated by the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, combining installation-support services such as airfield operations, grounds maintenance, and custodial services. This report assessed DOD's progress in consolidating common services across joint bases. It addresses the extent to which officials reported consolidating installation-support functions, and meeting joint basing goals to achieve greater efficiencies and cost savings. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round is the biggest, most complex, and costliest BRAC round ever. In addition to base closures, many recommendations involve realignments, such as returning forces to the U.S. from bases overseas and creating joint bases. However, anticipated savings remained an important consideration in justifying the need for the 2005 BRAC round. This report assessed: (1) challenges that might affect timely completion of recommendations; (2) any changes in DoD's reported cost and savings estimates since FY 2008; and (3) the potential for estimates to continue to change. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Chapters: List of minor active United States Air Force Bases, List of Strategic Air Command bases, List of United States Air Force installations. Excerpt: Active-duty USAF bases in the United States are under the jurisdiction of the following Major Commands: ACC organizes, trains, equips and maintains combat-ready forces for rapid deployment and employment (1st, 9th, 12th Air Forces) AETC provides Basic, Technical, Flight and specialized training to Officers and Airmen. (2d, 19th Air Forces) AFMC develops, acquires and sustains the aerospace power needed to defend the United States and its interests. AFGSC provides combat-ready forces to conduct strategic nuclear deterrence and global strike operation (8th, 20th Air Forces) Department of Defense Joint Bases were established in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The legislation ordered the consolidation of separate military installations into a single joint base as a result of the law. Jurisdiction was designated by the DoD. Most of the facilities were geographically adjoining; others were within the same area. USAF air component for U.S. European Command (EUCOM). USAFE has seven main operating bases along with 114 geographically separated locations. PACAF's primary mission is to provide U.S. Pacific Command integrated expeditionary Air Force capabilities to defend the Homeland, promote stability, dissuade/deter aggression, and swiftly defeat enemies. PACAF traces its roots to the activation of Far East Air Forces, Aug. 3, 1944, at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It consisted of three numbered air forces-5th, 7th and 13th-which were supporting combat operations in the Pacific Theater of World War II. DoD Joint Bases in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam are not listed. The primary mission of...
Between 1988 and 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission closed down 97 bases and realigned over 350 other bases. A hot button topic in the military field, base-closings is an important issue that affects not only soldiers, but ordinary citizens as well. Due to their massive economic significance for local and regional communities, military bases impact thousands of people, and thus encompass various political interests between local, state, and national levels. This reference work investigates the politics and key political figures involved in base-closing decisions, and considers various reasons why bases have been and continue to be closed down. An overview of the U.S. military base infrastructure as well as primary documents is included to help students understand the BRAC Commission process between 1988-2005. The book also analyzes the closure of overseas bases outside of the BRAC process. Ideal for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, this comprehensive handbook is the only complete reference guide to military base closings.

Military Bases: Historical Perspectives, Contemporary Challenges presents the results of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Political and social impact of military bases: Historical Perspectives, Contemporary Challenges, an event that took place in Lisbon, December 2007. The ARW, a joint Portuguese-Ukrainian organization, was the final result of earlier collaboration between several researchers from different countries on the issue of military bases. The intention was to go beyond the traditional international relations approach and discuss military bases from more than the aspect of their strategic value. This work is divided into three separate sections. The first of these deals with the Cold War period, the second section is about the political and social impact of military bases. The third and final section addresses the issue of military basing in the greater Black Sea area. In each of these sections, the issue of military bases is studied and analyzed from several different theoretical and methodological perspectives.
