  • Brac Commission Findings and Recommendations Department of the Army
    BRAC COMMISSION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Note: The recommendations appear in this report in the exact same order, and using the exact same titles, as they appeared in the Department of Defense report submitted May 13, 2005. Paragraphs titled “Secretary of Defense Recommendations,” and “Secretary of Defense Justification” are from the May 13, 2005, report submitted by the Secretary to the BRAC Commission. Where bases not originally listed by DoD have been “added” by the Commission, they will appear at the end of the relevant Report section. FORT WAINWRIGHT, ALASKA RECOMMENDATION # 1 (ARMY 5) ONE-TIME COST: $0.05M ANNUAL RECURRING COSTS/(SAVINGS): ($0.05M) 20-YEAR NET PRESENT VALUE: ($0.7M) PAYBACK PERIOD: 2 YEARS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE RECOMMENDATION Realign Fort Wainwright, AK, by relocating the Cold Regions Test Center (CRTC) headquarters from Fort Wainwright, AK, to Fort Greely, AK. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE JUSTIFICATION This recommendation relocates CRTC headquarters to Fort Greely to improve efficiency of operations and personnel safety. Sufficient capacity exists at Fort Greely. This would not affect Force Structure. This recommendation relocates headquarters closer to the CRTC’s test mission execution on the Bolio Lake Range Complex. This complex, although realigned under Fort Wainwright in BRAC 95, is only 10 miles south of Fort Greely but 100 miles from Fort Wainwright’s cantonment area. This action would improve interoperability and reduce costs by permitting personnel to live closer to their primary work site, thus avoiding a 200-mile round trip between quarters and work sites. It also decreases the risks associated with the required year-round travel in extreme weather conditions and results in more efficient and cost effective monitoring and control of arctic testing of transformational systems.

  • 1 Las Bases E Instalaciones Militares De Estados Unidos
    LAS BASES E INSTALACIONES MILITARES DE ESTADOS UNIDOS EN PUERTO RICO Y SU IMPACTO EN LA SOCIEDAD PUERTORRIQUEÑA Héctor R. Feliciano Ramos Puerto Rico fue descubierto por Cristóbal Colón durante su segundo viaje a América en 1493. Sin embargo, fue necesario esperar 15 años ya que fue en 1508-1509 cuando se inició la colonización española por Juan Ponce de León, quien, por sus características estratégicas, le dio el nombre de Puerto Rico a la que hoy se conoce como Bahía de San Juan. La presencia española duró hasta 1898 cuando Estados Unidos invadió el país como parte de las operaciones de la Guerra Hispano-Cubana-Estadounidense. En esos 390 años España convirtió a Puerto Rico en una de las principales piezas defensivas de su imperio americano en el Caribe. Evidencia de ello son las grandes fortificaciones militares y las murallas del viejo San Juan. El 25 de julio de 1898 —en medio de la Guerra Hispano-Americana— se inició la invasión estadounidense de Puerto Rico y con muy poca resistencia la operación militar concluyó el 12 de agosto de ese año con un triunfo arrollador del ejército de Estados Unidos1. La rapidez de las acciones militares y la ocupación del país, la tecnología y los usos y costumbres que los estadounidenses introdujeron en Puerto Rico deslumbraron a los puertorriqueños de aquella época2. Con la ocupación y el triunfo militar norteamericano de 1898, además de la milicia y la marina, hacía Puerto Rico se movilizó un ejército de diversos sectores de los Estados Unidos que vieron al país caribeño como una oportunidad de adelantar sus intereses particulares.

    Introduction to the United States Air Force B. CHANCE SALTZMAN, Capt, USAF and THOMAS R. SEARLE Airpower Research Institute, College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education, and Air University Press Maxwell AFB, Alabama 2001 Disclaimer Opinions, conclusions, and recommendations expressed or implied within are solely those of the author, and do not necessarily rep- resent the views of Air University, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or any other US government agency. Cleared for public release: distribution unlimited. ii Foreword The initial concept of the Introduction to the United States Air Force was to facilitate the process of learning how the US Air Force became what it is today: The most powerful mil- itary force in the history of the world. And as our Air Force continues to grow, so will this “primer.” I wish to thank Tom Searle at CADRE for giving me the opportunity to help him update this introduction from an “end-user” point of view. This revised edition will take the student up to the twenty-first century by including some recent operations, aircraft, and sig- nificant personalities that were not included in the 1999 edition. Additionally, the 1999 edi- tion included separate sections on significant operations and personalities but in this revised edition operations and personalities have been merged and organized chronologically to better match the needs of AS200. The original organization of the section on aerospace craft has been retained to show the unique developments of each of the different types of plat- forms. For ROTC AS200 instructors: This book is intended to supplement The Concise History of the United States Air Force which is currently being used in the AS200 curriculum.
