On May 13, 2005, the Pentagon recommended military base closures and reductions of United States military installations throughout the country.
For the first time since 1995, and while the U.S. is at war in the Middle East, the Pentagon’s proposal to close 180 bases, with 33 of them being major bases, in order to unify the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, is even more daunting than the Pentagon would have us believe.
In addition, the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C. would be moved to the present National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, to combine both facilities. Early projections estimate a loss of at least 225,000 federal and civilian jobs combined with dramatic costs to state’s local economies and fiscal health, most notably in the Northeast.
