DETAILED PROFILE: MILITARY SPENDING IN ALABAMA

ALABAMA MILITARY BASES

1- Redstone Arsenal - (11,457 total: 1,783 active duty and 9,674 civilians)

Mission:

• “For more than 40 years, Redstone has been the heart of the Army's rocket and missile programs.” • “’Team Redstone's’ mission is to perform basic and advanced weapons system research and development, placing the right missile and aviation systems with the troops, keeping them ready to fight, providing weapon systems, services and supplies to our allies, managing weapon systems such as the Cobra and PATRIOT, and supporting project managers within the program executive office structure.” • “Today, Redstone is home to the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), the Space and Missile Defense Command, numerous Program Executive Offices (PEO), and major components of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Missile Defense Agency. Also located here are numerous tenant and satellite organizations.” (Redstone)

Community:

• Located in the heart of the Tennessee Valley, in northern Alabama. • Total population served: 157,223 Soldiers (Active, retired, and dependents) and 27,620 civilians • “We have currently identified a net increase in positions associated for BRAC 2005 for Redstone Arsenal. While the actual numbers are still very subject to change, we currently estimate that the net increase will exceed 4000 personnel. This includes military, civilians and government contractors.”

NOTE: BRAC stands for Base Realignment and Closure, a process under which an independent commission chooses a list of bases to be closed or scaled back and then Congress is required to vote the entire list up or down. This process is meant to prevent members from pushing to save bases in their states independently of the need for them. In this case it appears that Redstone is gaining personnel from another base that is being closed..

o It is estimated that BRAC will create an additional 5,000 indirect support jobs

Redstone FAQ, Redstone Mission

2- Fort Rucker – (6,862: 4,460 active duty and 2,402 civilians)

Mission:

• Serves as the headquarters for the Army’s Aviation, including the Army’s Aviation Center of Excellence • “The U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence trains military, civilian, and international personnel in aviation and leadership skills, integrates Army aviation war fighting doctrine and requirements determination across the DOTMLPF (doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities), manages available resources, and sustains our commitment to the well-being of our Soldiers, civilians, retirees, and Families.” (Wikipedia)

• “The US Army Aviation Technical Test Center is the only test center that focuses on flight testing of the aircraft, associated systems, the aviator, and the maintainer.” (Globalsecurity) • “The 1st Aviation Brigade commands two distinctly different training , each with a unique mission. It is normally staffed at a combined strength of approximately 500 permanent soldiers and civilian employees, with more than 2,000 military students enrolled at any given time.” (Globalsecurity) • The 2005 BRAC sought to realign and consolidate army bases by transferring many of the responsibilities from Fort Eustis, VA to Fort Rucker. However, the commission rejected the recommendations of the Secretary of Defense. Fort Eustis was later combined with Air Force base, Fort Langley. (Globalsecurity)

Community:

• “Located in the southeast corner of lower Alabama…approximately 80 miles south of Montgomery and 20 miles northwest of Dothan.” • “Fort Rucker supports a daytime population of about 14,000, including about 5,100 service members, 6,400 civilian and contract employees, and 3,200 military family members residing on post. This post supports about 14,500 retirees.” (Globalsecurity) • “Fort Rucker operates much like any hometown. After all, the post is virtually a small city. The Garrison Command functions much like a city manager's office by overseeing the services and support necessary for the daily operations of a city.” (Globalsecurity)

• “Until 2007, Eielson was a front line base, deploying fighter and bomber units around the world as well as providing for the defense of Alaska. Taken off deployment status in 2007 as a result of BRAC 2005, currently the primary mission of the base is to support Red Flag-Alaska, a series of commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. Forces, which provides joint offensive counter-air, interdiction, close-air support, and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.” (Eielson AFB Wikipedia) • Eielson AFB was brought up by Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska during an Appropriations Committee hearing with Leon Panetta and Martin Dempsey, questioning the two whether Eielson will be closed through future base realignments.

ALASKA DEFENSE CONTRATORS

1- Arctic Slope Regional Corporation - $150,765,000 (2009)

• “ASRC is a private, for-profit corporation that is owned by and represents the business interests of its Iñupiat Eskimo shareholders in the villages of Point Hope, Point Lay, Wainwright, Atqasuk, Barrow, Nuiqsut, Kaktovik, and Anaktuvuk Pass. Some of the corporation’s shareholders live outside of the region in Alaska, with a small number residing in the Lower 48.” (ASRC) • “ASRC owns title to nearly five million acres of land on Alaska's North Slope which contain a high potential for oil, gas, coal and base metal sulfides. Additionally ASRC owns subsurface rights to certain lands, and has surface rights to other lands. ASRC, as a steward of the land, continuously strives to balance management of cultural resources with management of natural resources.” (ASRC)

• In 2011, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill sought to review a NASA contract awarded to ARSC because of a lack of competition. McCaskill, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, is a longtime critic of the advantage tapped by Alaska Native corporations in obtaining billions of dollars in federal contracts through a Small Business Administration program. (Anchorage daily News, 9/20/2011). o ”Many of the Native corporations have leveraged special access to federal contracting to build significant revenue this decade. They provide security at military bases across the country, provide technological assistance to federal agencies, and deliver engineering and construction services, among many other business lines... ‘This year Arctic Slope Regional Corp. had 2008 gross revenues of more than $2 billion. We have never seen that kind of prosperity from any company in our 25 years of doing this listing,’ said Jim Martin, general manager of Alaska Business Monthly, the magazine that produces [this] list [of Alaska-based, Alaskan-owned businesses].” (Anchorage Daily News, 10/3/2009) o “Alaska Native firms have become dominant players in the U.S. Small Business Administration 8(a) program, designed decades ago to boost the participation of small, disadvantaged firms in the multibillion-dollar industry of federal contracting. But the growth of Native contracting has overwhelmed regulators' ability to provide adequate oversight, and some Native firms and their non-Native subcontractors have been violating the rules, according to recent federal audits.” (ADN, 10/4/2010).

(Lakeshore Projects) • In 2011, Lakeshore completed 259 new military housing units that were designed and constructed at Eielson AFB (see above). “This was a part of the second largest construction project performed by the US Air Force. Awarded under three separate contracts totaling $162 million, the housing was constructed in triplex and fourplex configurations with varied building facades to create diversity among the units.

"It's all part of trying to reduce our costs and reduce our footprint and realize efficiencies wherever we can. This is part of an overall cost reduction." BAE, which has U.S. operations in South Dakota, California, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and other states, has no plans to shut its Minnesota facility, officials insisted.
