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...
" GAO has designated DOD support infrastructure as an area of high risk and included one key related category-installation support-as an area for potential savings. In 2005, DOD recommended to the Base Realignment and Closure Commission combining 26 installations into 12 joint bases to generate efficiencies and cost savings and, in 2010, completed this consolidation. GAO assessed the extent to which (1) DOD developed and implemented a plan to achieve cost savings and efficiencies at the joint bases, (2) joint base common standards provide a common framework to manage and plan for installation support services, and (3) DOD has a process to consistently identify and address any implementation challenges. GAO reviewed DOD policies and guidance on joint basing, visited 3 joint bases and obtained answers to written questions from the other 9, interviewed OSD and military service officials, and analyzed performance data on joint base support services. "
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 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Comm. recommended that the DoD establish 12 joint bases by consolidating the mgmt. and support of 26 separate installations, potentially saving $2.3 billion over 20 years. This report evaluated DoD's: (1) efforts and expected costs to deliver installation support at joint bases; and (2) funding for facility sustainment, which includes the maintenance and repair activities necessary to keep facilities in good working order, at all installations. The auditor compared new support standards with the current support levels, visited 9 installations that will become 4 joint bases, and compared facility sustainment funding levels with requirements and goals. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
The Department of Defense (DoD) recently created 12 joint bases by consolidating the support functions of geographically close bases under the lead of a single service. The 2005 Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Commission recommended the joint-basing initiative based on the expected savings of $183.8 million annually. The objectives of the BRAC process were to achieve cost savings, transformation, improvement of capabilities, and enhancement of military value. Using a case study approach, this research identified the specific factors that contribute to the organizational successes of joint base contracting at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) and Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). These factors include processes, governance structures, organizational structures, and communication. This research also identifies barriers to consolidation as well as comparing and contrasting the way JBSA and JBLM operate. Additionally, this research identifies strengths and weaknesses of the approaches used by the Air Force and the Army. Thus, by documenting specific enablers and barriers, this research should help to guide the planning and implementation of future consolidations throughout DoD and other government organizations.
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.
