3. 3 BRAC 2005 Objectives Rationalize Infrastructure with Defense Strategy Realign � The Future Force is �Joint� Revitalize Secretary Rumsfeld laid out his objectives over a year ago. The 3 �R�s� are Rationalize, Realign and Revitalize. We need to position our installation infrastructure to better support future Defense Strategy. The Cold War is over; we are more expeditionary and Joint. We plan to fight Joint, support Joint, and train Joint. Therefore we must also station Joint. Finally a big part of the effort will require investment in new facilities on gaining installations. This is an opportunity to revitalize some of the infrastructure. Remember the focus is on capacity � not on the number of installations. We�re not talking about going from 425 major installations to 305. We�re talking labor hour reductions at depots, test hours and acreage at ranges, work years at laboratories, acute care occupancy rates at hospitals, available airfield operations and ramp space at airfields etc. For T&E we need to retain at least one of each type of topography and climatology.

4. 4 BRAC 2005 Timeline As I said in the introduction, we are already well along in the process. DoD published the draft evaluation criteria in the Federal Register on 23 December 2003 and must allow a 30 day public comment period. By law, the final criteria must be established by 16 February 2004. Along with the FY2005 budget submission, DoD will forward to Congress a number of documents that will serve as a basis for the 2005 BRAC analyses. These include a threat analysis; detailed force structure plan, an inventory of current infrastructure, and a SecDef certification that annual net savings can be achieved through BRAC. DoD and the Services will then take the rest of 2004 and the first half of FY 2005 to gather their data, analyze their infrastructure, and develop and coordinate their lists. In the past the Army pretty much did their thing, the Navy did theirs, the Air Force theirs, and DoD theirs and at the end, collected the disparate products and submitted them together. There really was four different BRAC processes. This time around, there still is likely to be differences between the Services processes, but coordination will be a much bigger and likely more difficult task because DoD is forcing the �Joint� issue.As I said in the introduction, we are already well along in the process.
