    Responsible Iraq Drawdown— Rapid Afghanistan Buildup Third Army: Directing Traffic At the Crossroads of Two Wars ach morning, shortly after sunrise and following the last strains of “Reveille,” the theme song from the movie “Patton” echoes across Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, harkening back to Third Army’s iconic leader and World War II heritage. The camp is home to Third Army’s E forward headquarters, and it is the sustainment nexus for America’s combat efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The scale and complexity of Third Army’s sustainment operation is astronomical. If U.S. military personnel deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom eat it, shoot it, drive it, sleep in it or draw electrical power from it, Third Army/U.S. Army Central had a role in getting it to them, along with thousands of other items and re- pair parts needed for combat.

  • Tracking the Economic Effects of Military Base Closures: Three Cases
    Tracking the Economic Effects of Military Base Closures: Three Cases Christopher Preble* Abstract In October 2017, Secretary of Defense James Mattis urged Congress to grant him authority to reduce the department’s overhead. Even if the military were to grow back to the levels seen when the United States was actively fighting wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq (in 2012), the DoD had concluded that it would still be carrying nearly 20 percent excess base capacity. Congress, however, refused to grant Mattis’s request – just as it had rejected similar pleas from four previous Secretaries of Defense. Instead, the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) included language requiring DoD to complete another infrastructure review, effectively delaying any possible future round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) until 2021, at the earliest. Congressional leaders have denied DoD the authority to close unneeded bases, in part, due to concern that such actions would do irreparable harm to local economies – and despite that fact that empirical studies show that most areas do eventually recover lost jobs after a nearby base closes. This paper will go beyond the numbers to explore how three communities have adapted to military base closures – Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Fort Ord in Northern California; and Forts McPherson and Gillem in and near Atlanta, Georgia. * Christopher Preble is vice president for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. The author wishes to thank Jonathan (J.E.) Allen for his assistance with the research and writing of this paper, and James Knupp for research help.

  • MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PB 34-09-2 Volume 35 Number 2 April - June 2009
    MIPB April - June 2009 PB 34-O9-2 Operations in OEF Afghanistan FROM THE EDITOR In this issue, three articles offer perspectives on operations in Afghanistan. Captain Nenchek dis- cusses the philosophy of the evolving insurgent “syndicates,” who are working together to resist the changes and ideas the Coalition Forces bring to Afghanistan. Captain Beall relates his experiences in employing Human Intelligence Collection Teams at the company level in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Lieutenant Colonel Lawson provides a look into the balancing act U.S. Army chaplains as non-com- batants in Afghanistan are involved in with regards to Information Operations. Colonel Reyes discusses his experiences as the MNF-I C2 CIOC Chief, detailing the problems and solutions to streamlining the intelligence effort. First Lieutenant Winwood relates her experiences in integrating intelligence support into psychological operations. From a doctrinal standpoint, Lieutenant Colonels McDonough and Conway review the evolution of priority intelligence requirements from a combined operations/intelligence view. Mr. Jack Kem dis- cusses the constructs of assessment during operations–measures of effectiveness and measures of per- formance, common discussion threads in several articles in this issue. George Van Otten sheds light on a little known issue on our southern border, that of the illegal im- migration and smuggling activities which use the Tohono O’odham Reservation as a corridor and offers some solutions for combined agency involvement and training to stem the flow. Included in this issue is nomination information for the CSM Doug Russell Award as well as a biogra- phy of the 2009 winner. Our website is at https://icon.army.mil/ If your unit or agency would like to receive MIPB at no cost, please email [email protected] and include a physical address and quantity desired or call the Editor at 520.5358.0956/DSN 879.0956.

    CRS INSIGHT History of Use of U.S. Military Bases to House Immigrants and Refugees July 26, 2018 (IN10937) | Related Authors Lawrence Kapp Barbara Salazar Torreon | Lawrence Kapp, Specialist in Military Manpower Policy ([email protected], 7-7609) Barbara Salazar Torreon, Senior Research Librarian ([email protected], 7-8996) Background On June 20, 2018, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order that states "It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources" and that directs the Secretary of Defense to "take all legally available measures to provide to the Secretary [of Homeland Security], upon request, any existing facilities available for the housing and care of alien families, and shall construct such facilities if necessary and consistent with law." On June 24, Secretary of Defense James Mattis confirmed that Goodfellow Air Force Base and Fort Bliss, both in Texas, would be used to "provide whatever support the Department of Homeland Security needs to house the people that they have under their custody." Statutory Authority and Policy Documents Statutes that authorize the Department of Defense to provide support other federal agencies include: Section 1535 of Title 31 (the "Economy Act"), which authorizes an agency to place an order with another agency to obtain supplies or services from that agency. Chapter 15 of Title 10, governing military support for civilian law enforcement agencies, and particularly 10 U.S.C. 272, which authorizes the Secretary of Defense to make DOD equipment and facilities available to federal, state and local law enforcement officials for law enforcement purposes .
