Subject: Military Base Realignments and Closures: Updated Costs and
Savings Estimates from BRAC 2005:
The Department of Defense's (DOD) cost estimates to implement
recommendations from the most recent Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) round have increased and estimated savings resulting from the
round have decreased compared to the estimates from the 2005 BRAC
Commission. BRAC 2005 was the fifth round of base closures and
realignments undertaken by DOD since 1988, and it was the biggest,
most complex BRAC round ever.
To implement this round, DOD executed hundreds of BRAC actions
involving over 800 defense locations and the planned relocation of
over 125,000 personnel. By law, BRAC 2005 recommendations were to be
implemented by September 15, 2011.[Footnote 1]
At the outset of BRAC 2005, the Office of the Secretary of Defense
(OSD) indicated that DOD viewed BRAC 2005 as a unique opportunity to
reshape its installations and realign its forces to meet defense needs
for the next 20 years. In accordance with the statute authorizing BRAC
2005,[Footnote 2] DOD proposed the selection criteria to be used to
develop and evaluate the candidate recommendations, and Congress
subsequently codified those criteria.[Footnote 3]
As in prior BRAC rounds, criteria relating to the goal of enhancing
"military value"[Footnote 4] were to be given priority consideration,
with other criteria to be considered including the extent and timing
of potential costs and savings, economic impact to local communities,
and other considerations. When applied in the context of the
transformational goals set by the Secretary of Defense for BRAC 2005,
these criteria resulted in many of the BRAC 2005 recommendations
involving complex realignments, such as designating where military
forces returning to the United States from overseas bases would be
located; establishing joint military medical centers; creating joint
bases; and reconfiguring the defense supply, storage, and distribution
network.
Nevertheless, anticipated savings resulting from implementing the
recommendations remained an important consideration in justifying the
need for another BRAC round. In a 2001 testimony before Congress, the
Secretary of Defense stated that another BRAC round would generate
recurring savings the department could use for other defense programs.
However, as we have previously reported, the 2005 round is unlike
previous BRAC rounds because of OSD's emphasis on transformation and
jointness, rather than just reducing excess infrastructure. Before DOD
could begin to realize savings from BRAC 2005, it needed to invest
billions of dollars in facility construction, renovation, and other up-
front expenses. The BRAC Commission estimated that these one-time
implementation costs would total about $21 billion; in contrast, DOD
spent about $25 billion[Footnote 5] to implement the four previous
BRAC rounds combined. The Commission also calculated that, taking into
account the time value of money, over a 20-year period ending in 2025,
DOD would achieve a positive net present value[Footnote 6] of about
$36 billion, and it estimated that the net annual recurring savings
[Footnote 7] that would accrue from implementing BRAC 2005
recommendations would be around $4.2 billion.
In December 2007, we reported that DOD planned to spend more and save
less than the BRAC Commission expected, and DOD's 20-year net present
value would be less than half of the Commission's original estimate.
[Footnote 8] That report also found that DOD's BRAC cost and savings
estimates were likely to continue to evolve due to uncertainties
surrounding implementation details and potential increases in military
construction. In each of two subsequent GAO reports and a recent
testimony covering BRAC 2005 costs and savings, we found that DOD's
estimated one-time BRAC implementation costs had further increased,
net annual recurring savings estimates had further decreased, and the
20-year net present value was diminishing.[Footnote 9]
The House Armed Services Committee report accompanying the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 directs us to monitor
the implementation of recommendations for the 2005 round of closures
and realignments of military installations.[Footnote 10] This report
updates the costs and savings associated with BRAC 2005 through the
end of the implementation period. We will continue to analyze BRAC
2005 implementation and will issue a lessons learned report to
conclude our reporting in response to this congressional directive
later this year. A list of our prior work related to military base
closures and realignments since the Secretary of Defense submitted his
proposed BRAC actions to the BRAC Commission for review in May 2005
can be found at the end of this report. For this report, our
objectives were to evaluate (1) how DOD's costs to implement BRAC 2005
recommendations compared to the BRAC Commission's estimates and the
factors that contributed to cost increases, and (2) what 20-year net
present value and net annual recurring savings DOD can expect by
implementing the 2005 BRAC recommendations and what factors have
contributed to the overall decrease in savings from this round.
Scope and Methodology:
To assess DOD's cost estimates of implementing BRAC 2005, we examined
the initial cost estimates in the BRAC Commission's Report to the
President and compared them to our analyses of data in DOD's fiscal
year 2011 BRAC 2005 budget submission to Congress.[Footnote 11] In
addition, we discussed with the military departments' BRAC offices the
reasons for cost increases and reviewed OSD's business plans for
recommendations that had the largest increases in costs to determine
the reasons for the changes, and discussed them with OSD officials,
and officials in the military departments and defense agencies as
appropriate. To evaluate changes in DOD's projected 20-year net
present value estimates from the BRAC Commission's 2005 estimates, we
examined the data in DOD's fiscal year 2011 BRAC 2005 budget
submission to Congress. For consistency in making comparisons to the
BRAC Commission's original estimates, we applied the same formulas and
discount rate of 2.8 percent that the BRAC Commission used to
calculate the 20-year net present value estimates in 2005. To evaluate
changes in DOD's projected net annual recurring savings from the BRAC
Commission's 2005 estimates through fiscal year 2011, we used data OSD
provided to us for estimated savings in fiscal year 2012--the year
after OSD expected all recommendations to be completed. We determined
that the data used were sufficiently reliable for the purposes of
addressing the objectives of this report. We performed this work from
March 2012 to June 2012 in accordance with generally accepted
government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to
provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on
our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a
reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit
objectives.
Summary:
Our analysis of DOD's fiscal year 2011 update relating to the BRAC
2005 budget submission to Congress shows that one-time implementation
costs grew from $21 billion originally estimated by the BRAC
Commission in 2005 to about $35.1 billion,[Footnote 12] an increase of
about $14.1 billion, or 67 percent,[Footnote 13] largely due to
increased construction costs. We compared the BRAC Commission's 2005
estimates to DOD's fiscal year 2011 budget submission and found that
14 of 182[Footnote 14] BRAC recommendations accounted for about 72
percent of the cost increase, or about $10.2 billion. Our analysis of
those 14 recommendations shows that increased construction costs
resulted primarily from additional building projects and additions to
planned projects, which DOD deemed necessary after implementation
began. For example, one-time costs for realigning the National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency more than doubled from $1.1 billion to
$2.6 billion, with military construction accounting for nearly $726
million of that increase due to additional supporting facilities the
agency identified as essential to the mission. Overall, military
construction costs for the BRAC 2005 round increased 86 percent, from
$13.2 billion estimated by the BRAC Commission to $24.5 billion
according to DOD's fiscal year 2011 BRAC budget, while over the same
time period, general inflation increased by 13.7 percent. In contrast,
military construction costs for the four prior BRAC rounds combined
amounted to less than $7 billion. Other reasons for implementation
cost increases included increased operation and maintenance costs,
such as for furnishings to outfit new and renovated buildings and
information technology needed to equip additional facilities, and
higher environmental restoration costs.
Due primarily to the large increase in one-time implementation costs,
the 20-year net present value DOD can expect by implementing the 2005
BRAC recommendations has decreased by 72 percent, and our analysis of
net annual recurring savings shows a decrease of 9.5 percent compared
to the BRAC 2005 Commission's estimates. The 20-year net present
value--that is, the present value of future savings minus the present
value of up-front investment costs--of $35.6 billion estimated by the
Commission in 2005 for this BRAC round has decreased by 72 percent to
about $9.9 billion.[Footnote 15] We believe that the 20-year net
present value of BRAC recommendations is a good measure of the net
result from up-front implementation costs and the resulting savings
because it takes into account the time value of money; that is, it
considers when a dollar amount, such as savings, is received during
the 20-year period. In 2005, the BRAC Commission approved 30
recommendations that were expected to produce a negative 20-year net
present value (in other words, at the end of the 20-year period, those
30 recommendations would result in net costs). Based on our analysis,
currently 75 out of the 182 Commission-approved recommendations, about
41 percent, are now expected to result in a negative 20-year net
present value. Nine recommendations have seen their net present value
decrease by over $1 billion each. Also, our analysis of DOD's fiscal
year 2011 update of the BRAC 2005 budget submission to Congress shows
that DOD's net annual recurring savings estimates have decreased by
$400 million to about $3.8 billion, a 9.5 percent decrease from the
Commission's estimate of $4.2 billion.[Footnote 16]
We are not making recommendations in this report. We provided DOD with
a draft copy of this report for review and comment. DOD concurred with
the findings of our report and these comments are reprinted in
enclosure VII.
Estimated Implementation Costs Increased by Almost 68 Percent, Mostly
Due to Funding Military Construction Projects Not Included in Original
Cost Estimates:
Our analysis of DOD's fiscal year 2011 BRAC budget shows that
estimated one-time costs to implement 2005 BRAC recommendations
increased by 67 percent, or about $14.1 billion, from the $21 billion
the BRAC Commission estimated in 2005, to a total of $35.1 billion.
[Footnote 17]
Fourteen BRAC Recommendations Accounted for 72 Percent of the Cost
Increase:
Our analysis of the cost increase shows that 14 out of the 182
recommendations included in this round, accounted for about 72 percent
of the cost increase, or about $10.2 billion, as shown in table 1.

[End of table]
Upon closer examination of these 14 BRAC recommendations, we found
that the cost increases were mostly a result of increased military
construction costs. Overall, military construction costs for the BRAC
2005 round increased from $13.2 billion estimated by the BRAC
Commission to $24.5 billion, an 86 percent increase, while over the
same time period, general inflation increased by 13.7 percent. In
contrast, military construction costs for the four prior BRAC rounds
combined amounted to less than $7 billion. Military construction costs
increased because after implementation began, DOD identified
requirements for new construction projects as well as for additions to
planned construction projects, which were not accounted for in the
original cost estimates. Requirements changed because DOD's
information provided to the BRAC Commission assumed that adequate
capacity existed to fully accommodate the workload and workforce
relocating to an existing facility and that the physical condition of
existing buildings would be acceptable and suitable for the intended
relocation and mission.
Other factors contributing to cost increases to implement the
recommendations we examined included inflation over the 6-year
implementation period for construction materials and transportation,
underestimated requirements for outfitting or furnishing buildings,
and information technology requirements.
Details of the 14 BRAC recommendations we examined are as follows:
1. Realign Walter Reed Army Medical Center to Bethesda National Naval
Medical Center, Maryland, and to Fort Belvoir, Virginia ($1.7 billion
increase). This recommendation expanded the National Naval Medical
Center, which was renamed the Walter Reed National Military Medical
Center, and included constructing a new community hospital and dental
clinic at Fort Belvoir. One-time implementation costs increased by
$1.7 billion (175 percent) mostly due to additional military
construction requirements to address numerous issues unique to the
medical center, such as concerns raised by a congressionally directed
study group to examine the need to provide better medical care for
wounded and ill warfighters. In 2008, Congress established the
expectation that the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
and new military hospital at Fort Belvoir should be"world-class"
medical facilities.[Footnote 18] Thus, DOD took various actions to
implement this recommendation that were not anticipated in 2005 when
the recommendation became binding, contributing to an about $1.3
billion increase in constructing new medical facilities.
2. Close National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency leased locations and
realign others at Fort Belvoir, Virginia ($1.4 billion increase). This
recommendation consolidated various leased locations by closing other
locations of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and it
constructed a new facility at Fort Belvoir. One-time costs to
implement this recommendation increased $1.4 billion (129 percent)
from the initial BRAC Commission estimate of $1.1 billion. Military
construction costs increased by about $726 million from the initial
estimate of $950,000, due to new requirements not included in the
initial estimate for additional supporting facilities the agency
identified as essential to mission operability, such as the need for a
technology center and a warehouse that resulted in a 200,000 square
footage increase at the new facility. Also, costs for information
technology equipment and software, internal communication cabling, and
furnishings to outfit the new buildings were not included in initial
estimates.
3. Close Fort Monmouth, New Jersey ($1.1 billion increase). This
recommendation closed Fort Monmouth and realigned various functions
such as information systems, sensors, electronic warfare, electronics
research and development & acquisition functions, and various
administrative functions to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and
other installations such as Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and Fort Meade,
Maryland. In addition, this recommendation relocated the U.S. Army
Military Academy Preparatory School from Fort Monmouth to West Point,
New York. One-time implementation costs increased $1.1 billion (139
percent) due in part to evolving requirements associated with the
construction of the Command, Control, Communications, Computers,
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center of Excellence for
Communications and Electronics Laboratories at Aberdeen Proving
Ground. Further analysis of mission requirements by the Army after
implementation began resulted in an increase of approximately 750,000
square feet of additional construction for the Center. Also, the Army
identified the need for additional infrastructure improvements at
Aberdeen such as utilities, roads, and information technology
upgrades. Further, the Military Academy Preparatory School experienced
increases in costs largely due to an Army analysis that new
construction was needed because existing facilities were not
available. In addition, limited construction space at West Point where
the Army wanted to locate the preparatory school required the
relocation of an existing motor pool that also increased costs. As a
result of these new requirements, military construction costs for
relocating the Military Academy Preparatory School experienced about a
$127 million (449 percent) increase over initial Commission estimates.
4. Establish San Antonio Regional Medical Center and Realign Enlisted
Medical Training to Fort Sam Houston, Texas ($953 million increase).
This recommendation established the San Antonio Regional Medical
Center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, by relocating inpatient medical
care from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, and realigning DOD basic and
specialty enlisted medical training from four other DOD installations
to Fort Sam Houston. This was done to develop a joint training center
to improve interoperability and joint deployability. One-time
implementation costs increased $953 million (92 percent) for several
reasons, such as the identification of additional requirements to move
medical inpatient care functions from Wilford Hall Medical Center at
Lackland Air Force Base to Fort Sam Houston. Additionally, according
to DOD officials, requirements for instructional and laboratory space
expanded to accommodate an over 40-percent increase in the number of
students DOD expected to receive medical training at Fort Sam Houston
compared to initial assumptions, resulting in more military
construction than initially anticipated. Further, Army officials told
us that some cost increases were due to renovation of historic
buildings and that those additional costs were not anticipated in the
initial cost estimate. Also, the standard dormitory construction
assumptions used to initially cost out the needed construction did
not, according to Army officials, include accommodation for the female
student population that would be at Fort Sam Houston. Finally, the
cost of various operation and maintenance activities, such as moving
people and equipping the medical center, were higher than initially
estimated.
5. Realign Maneuver Training to Fort Benning, Georgia ($915 million
increase). This recommendation combined training and doctrine
development for ground forces by relocating the Armor Center and
School from Fort Knox, Kentucky, to Fort Benning, Georgia, and
establishing the Maneuver Center of Excellence. The recommendation
also realigned Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, by relocating the 84th Army
Reserve Regional Training Center into space at Fort Knox vacated by
the Armor Center and School, and activated an Infantry Brigade Combat
Team at Fort Knox by relocating engineer, military police, and combat
service support units from Europe and Korea. One-time implementation
costs increased $915 million (118 percent). About 92 percent of the
cost increase--about $880 million--was due to additional facilities
requirements for the Maneuver Center that were identified after the
recommendation was approved. For example, the Army identified the need
for medical facilities and other projects to support Maneuver Center
training, which were not included in the BRAC Commission's initial
estimate. The additional facilities that were constructed also
required nearly another $135 million in operation and maintenance
costs for furnishings, equipment, transportation, and relocation costs
for the Armor School, as well as moving and severance costs for
civilian employees.
6. Co-locate miscellaneous OSD, defense agency, and field activity
leased locations ($827 million increase). This recommendation closed
various leased locations, relocated about 6,400 personnel within the
National Capital Region to Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and relocated the
Defense Contract Management Agency to Fort Lee, Virginia. One-time
implementation costs increased by about $827 million (137 percent).
DOD experienced various delays in the process to construct a new
permanent site for the facility. The Army's original plan for this
recommendation was to construct a facility on the engineering proving
grounds at Fort Belvoir but OSD BRAC officials told us that after
experiencing local opposition to the density of population on the
site, the Army competitively selected an alternative site that became
part of Fort Belvoir.[Footnote 19] The delays increased costs because
the facility had to be built with a compressed timetable so DOD would
meet the mandatory BRAC completion date of September 15, 2011. In
addition, other infrastructure requirements that were not included in
initial estimates, such as a parking structure at the facility,
increased costs by almost $193 million. Also, actual costs for
telecommunications and information technology were nearly $44 million
higher than estimated.
7. Realign to establish Combat Service Support Center at Fort Lee,
Virginia ($666 million increase). This recommendation realigned
various combat service support functions from four other installations
to establish a combined Combat Service Support Center at Fort Lee,
Virginia. One-time implementation costs increased by $660 million (88
percent), driven primarily by facility construction costs.
Requirements for establishing the Combat Service Support Center were
more fully developed in the early stages of implementation, which not
only increased the scope of planned construction, but also identified
the need to build a new Warrior Training Facility at Fort A. P. Hill,
Virginia, as well as a health and dental clinic at Fort Lee. There
were also smaller increases in the costs of environmental compliance,
and transportation costs for moving equipment such as oversized
tactical vehicles and weapon systems from Aberdeen Proving Ground to
Fort Lee.
8. Close Fort McPherson, Georgia ($590 million increase). This
recommendation closed Fort McPherson and relocated the Army's Forces
Command headquarters and the Army Reserve Command headquarters to Fort
Bragg, North Carolina.[Footnote 20] Also, this recommendation
relocated the Third Army headquarters to Shaw Air Force Base, South
Carolina. One-time implementation costs increased $590 million (275
percent). The identification of additional project requirements, such
as additional headquarters facilities and housing at Fort Bragg, Shaw
Air Force Base, and other locations, increased military construction
costs. Also, the cost for the combined U.S. Army Forces Command and
U.S. Army Reserve Command Headquarters at Fort Bragg and the Third
Army headquarters facility at Shaw Air Force Base increased because of
increased square footage requirements that were not originally
identified. The costs for furnishings, collateral equipment, and other
outfitting costs associated with these added military construction
projects and expanded scope increased from about $92 million to about
$232 million. Also, environmental costs increased from about $1
million to about $10 million because of the higher cost of complying
with the National Environmental Policy Act as well as the shifting of
environmental restoration requirements into the 6-year implementation
period. Information technology costs increased from nearly $20 million
to $139 million due to the corresponding information technology
requirements for the added military construction projects and more
refined costs for installation of communications, automation, and
information systems equipment.
9. Consolidate Defense Information Systems Agency at Fort Meade,
Maryland ($382 million increase). This recommendation closed leased
locations and realigned various other functions at a 1 million square
foot facility at Fort Meade, Maryland. One-time implementation costs
increased about $382 million (174 percent). The majority of this cost
growth was caused by increased military construction and information
technology requirements that were understated in the initial
estimates. For example, the amount of square footage for a laboratory
and a controlled humidity warehouse used by the agency in leased
locations was understated in original estimates for the new facility.
In addition, initial estimates did not include all costs to furnish
the new facility. Information technology requirements, which were
originally estimated at about $17 million dollars, increased to about
$95 million when the agency identified the need to duplicate its
existing information technology infrastructure in the new facility.
10. Relocate Army headquarters and field operating activities ($379
million increase). DOD relocated several Army commands and regional
offices to various locations such as Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort
Knox, Kentucky; and Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, to create operating
efficiencies. Several factors contributed to the increase in one-time
implementation costs of $379 million (189 percent). For example, new
construction projects added after the Commission estimate was computed
increased military construction costs by over $65 million. These
projects included the Installation Management Command Headquarters
building, the renovation of a historic theater for the Family, Morale,
Welfare and Recreation Command, and associated parking and road
improvements. There was also an increase of almost $30 million to
originally planned construction projects. An additional $33 million in
increased costs were caused by adjusted requirements for civilian
moves, civilian severance, collateral equipment, furnishings, restored
leave, contract termination, and transportation. Further, information
technology costs increased from an initial estimate of nearly $2
million to about $58 million because of information technology
requirements associated with construction of the additional projects
as well as information technology requirements for Army headquarters
organizations. There were also added costs of over $41 million for
personnel-related costs and transportation of equipment.
11. Realign supply, storage, and distribution management ($347 million
increase). This recommendation was to achieve economies and
efficiencies to enhance logistic support effectiveness by
reconfiguring DOD's wholesale supply, storage, and distribution
network across the United States while also consolidating these
functions at several military maintenance depots. Viewed as one of the
more complicated recommendations put forth by DOD, one-time
implementation costs increased $347 million (180 percent) primarily
for information technology. Information technology efforts related to
this recommendation involved complex business process reengineering
efforts, including software development and synchronizing several
existing and evolving information technology systems, in addition to
equipment purchases. Further, military construction costs increased,
mostly attributable to the following three factors. First, the defense
distribution depot at Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, had excess capacity
when DOD was developing the recommendation, but after the
recommendation became binding the depot no longer had the capacity to
store all the supplies that the BRAC recommendation originally
envisioned, thus requiring new construction for extra storage space.
Second, the cost increased because a facility that was designated to
be a new Strategic Distribution Platform at Tinker Air Force Base,
Oklahoma, as part of this recommendation, was originally included in
the estimates for another recommendation. However, we were told that
when the BRAC Commission changed the other recommendation the military
construction was not incorporated back into this recommendation. In
addition, needed upgrades to the facility were not included in the
original estimates. Third, Warner-Robins' Strategic Distribution
Platform, Georgia required more space than envisioned due to a data
input error. The needed square footage was entered into the BRAC
database as 20,000 square feet when it should have been 200,000 square
feet. Thus, additional construction was needed to build the required
storage space. In addition, costs to integrate each of the services'
inventory management systems with the Defense Logistics Agency's
systems were higher than anticipated. Other cost increases included
costs for re-warehousing stock at the strategic distribution
platforms;[Footnote 21] consolidating storage at the forward
distribution points, redistributing inventories among various
distribution depots; and modifying existing contracts.
12. Consolidate depot-level reparable procurement management ($307
million increase). This recommendation realigned procurement and
related support functions at 13 locations by consolidating depot-level
reparable procurement within the Defense Logistics Agency, completing
the transfer of remaining consumable item management to the Defense
Logistics Agency, and relocating integrated material management
functions to other locations, including Detroit Arsenal, Michigan. One-
time implementation costs increased $307 million (246 percent) mainly
as a result of changes in military construction and information
technology requirements. Military construction costs increased
primarily because of changes in the construction planned for the
movement of personnel from Rock Island, Illinois, to Detroit Arsenal.
These changes included a larger administrative building than
originally planned because contractor personnel were not included in
the original estimate, and the construction of a parking garage
instead of a parking lot. Also, information technology costs increased
because the initial estimates were based on incomplete data that did
not reflect business processes and other information technology
requirements.
13. Co-locate military department investigation agencies with DOD
Counterintelligence and Security Agency at Marine Corps Base Quantico,
Virginia ($301 million increase). This recommendation closed various
leased locations and realigned various counterintelligence and
investigative functions to Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia. One-
time implementation costs increased $301 million (175 percent) largely
because the required square footage needed for the facility was
underestimated. According to Navy officials, initial square footage
estimates were underestimated because they did not include space for
contractors or students that train at the facility. As a result,
military construction increased $222 million over initial Commission
estimates.
14. Close Brooks City Base, Texas ($283 million increase). This
recommendation closed Brooks City-Base, realigned Holloman Air Force
Base, New Mexico, and relocated several Air Force, Army, and Navy
medical missions to Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base,
Texas; Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio; and Fort Sam Houston,
Texas. One-time implementation costs increased $283 million (87
percent). The primary drivers of cost growth were additional
requirements identified after the initial estimate, which increased
military construction costs. For example, at Fort Sam Houston, the
initial cost estimate took into account only the Army's facilities
requirements and left out both Navy and Air Force requirements, which,
according to Air Force officials, added $74 million in construction
costs. At Lackland Air Force Base, the amount of square footage
required increased by 56,000 square feet because more personnel needed
to be accommodated than initially estimated. Also at Lackland, the
renovation of existing facilities required moving current occupants to
other facilities, and those costs were not captured in the initial
estimates. At Wright-Patterson and Randolph Air Force Bases, military
construction costs increased from an estimated $208 million to $230
million because, among other things, DOD's and the BRAC Commission's
original estimates did not take into account that the cost to renovate
historic buildings is greater than the standard planning factors used
to estimate renovation costs. In addition, projects to restore the
property at Brooks City Base and Holloman Air Force Base to usable,
suitable condition contributed to the cost increase. Environmental
requirements such as environmental policy compliance and restoration
activities were not included in the original cost estimates and added
$21 million to implementation costs. Costs for operation and
maintenance increased by $96 million because requirements for
transporting equipment from Brooks to the new locations increased, the
cost of moving the personnel from Holloman Air Force Base to Wright-
Patterson increased, and the cost to purchase needed equipment to
allow dual operations or contracted support for uninterrupted
capabilities provided by the research laboratories and the School of
Aerospace Medicine during the transition from Brooks City Base
increased. Civilian personnel costs were also higher than estimated
because about 40 percent of the civilian workforce actually
transferred to the new locations, but only 20 percent were expected to
do so.
Implementation Costs for Five Recommendations Increased by over 1,000
Percent:
In addition to the 14 recommendations that had the largest dollar
increases in estimated costs, we also identified five recommendations
that experienced cost increases of over 1,000 percent compared to the
BRAC Commission's estimates, as shown in table 2.

[End of table]
Our analysis of the recommendations listed in table 2--as with the 14
recommendations that demonstrated the largest dollar cost increases--
showed these recommendations also had new or unanticipated
requirements for military construction that were not included in the
initial cost estimates. Factors that contributed to those cost
increases are outlined below.
1. Realign to establish Joint Center for consolidated transportation
management training at Fort Lee, Virginia (1,840 percent increase).
This recommendation established a Joint Center for Consolidated
Transportation Management Training at Fort Lee to eliminate redundancy
by relocating transportation management training at Lackland Air Force
Base, Texas. Initially estimated to cost $1.5 million, this
recommendation cost about $29 million to implement, a cost growth of
1,840 percent. The Commission's cost estimates were based on DOD's
assumption that there would be space available at Fort Lee once
another BRAC recommendation to establish the Combat Service Support
Center, also at Fort Lee, was implemented. However, those facilities
were not available, thus requiring new construction of a 53,000 square
foot facility that included, among other things, a general instruction
building. Further, additional requirements and the cost of
construction materials contributed to about $18 million of the
increase. Other factors behind cost increases included environmental
costs, moving costs, information technology, and furnishings
associated with the new construction.
2. Realign to establish Joint Center of Excellence for Religious
Training and Education at Fort Jackson, South Carolina (1,394 percent
increase). This recommendation consolidated similar religious
educational activities for officers and enlisted personnel and merged
common support functions to create the Joint Center of Excellence for
Religious Training and Education by relocating religious training and
educational from three other locations--Maxwell Air Force Base,
Alabama; Naval Air Station Meridian, Mississippi; and Naval Station
Newport, Rhode Island--to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Initially
projected to cost $1 million, this recommendation cost over $14.9
million to implement, a cost increase of 1,394 percent. According to
DOD, the total requirement for all facilities for this recommendation
was 118,000 square feet, but only 57,000 square feet were available
for religious training use at Fort Jackson once implementation began.
This caused military construction costs to increase from about a half-
million dollars to over $10 million. The final cost of military
construction for this recommendation was over $11.5 million because of
an increase in scope resulting from additional joint requirements. In
addition, costs for removal, packing, shipping, and reinstallation of
video teletraining equipment and advanced classroom electronic
equipment increased by $1.5 million.
3. Realign Single Drill Sergeant School to Fort Jackson, South
Carolina (1,411, percent increase). By relocating existing drill
sergeant schools from Fort Benning, Georgia, and Fort Leonard Wood,
Missouri, this recommendation established a consolidated drill
sergeant school at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The Commission's
initial estimate, based on DOD's information, was projected to cost
$1.8 million; however, this recommendation cost $27.2 million to
implement, an increase of 1,411 percent. About $23 million of this
cost growth resulted from the need for new military construction
because existing facilities, initially thought to be suitable, were
later deemed inadequate. After BRAC implementation began, the Army
determined that it needed newly constructed space, primarily for
classrooms, headquarters administration, and office space, and for a
dining area to accommodate the projected 366 students per training
cycle expected due to consolidating the three schools at one location.
However, the existing training facilities at Fort Jackson were 40
years old and would support a training capacity of only 120 students,
far short of the 366 students expected per training cycle. Further,
the Army cited a severe shortage of bathing facilities and laundry
appliances, and noted that there was inadequate dedicated space for
outdoor assembly, drills, and physical training. The Army also
determined there were no adequate alternate facilities either on or
off the installation that could be used to satisfy the need for the
instructional facilities to serve this training mission. Other costs
that increased included actual costs to comply with environmental
regulations, and additional furnishing, outfitting, and information
technology requirements associated with the new construction.
4. Realign to establish Joint Center of Excellence for Culinary
Training at Fort Lee, Virginia (1,254 percent increase). With this
recommendation, DOD consolidated its culinary training at one
location, creating the Joint Center of Excellence for Culinary
Training by relocating the culinary training from Lackland Air Force
Base, Texas, to Fort Lee. While the BRAC Commission approved the
recommendation, it noted in its Report to the President, ". . . the
ultimate cost of this recommendation is still unclear." Initially
estimated to cost $5.4 million to implement, this recommendation cost
$73.1 million to implement, an increase of 1,254 percent. Military
construction costs were the main reason for the increase. Construction
estimates increased from $4.3 million to $69.5 million due to expanded
instructional capacity requirements. Additionally, a dormitory and a
dining facility were added to support the increased student load.
5. Consolidate Army Test and Evaluation command Headquarters at
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland (1,210 percent). This recommendation
consolidated DOD's Army Test and Evaluation Command at Aberdeen
Proving Ground, Maryland. The initial cost estimate to implement this
recommendation was $7.1 million, whereas the final implementation cost
was $93 million, an increase of about 1,210 percent. In 2006, the Army
planned to place many Army Test and Evaluation Command personnel in
existing facilities at Aberdeen Proving Ground but subsequently
determined that this option was not feasible due to a lack of
contiguous space and developed an alternative to construct a new 2-
star headquarters facility at a cost of $55.5 million. Mission
requirements for a top-secret information facility, and a secure
network operations center, a secure conference center, and secure
video teleconference center, not identified in initial cost estimates,
also added to the total cost. Further, initial estimates did not
adequately capture requirements to furnish and equip the facility or
move the personnel and equipment, resulting in higher costs than
expected.
See enclosure I for a list of DOD's estimated costs to implement the
recommendations from the 2005 BRAC round and enclosure II for the
differences between the BRAC Commission estimates and DOD's fiscal
year 2011 budget estimates for each recommendation.
Both 20-year Net Present Value and Net Annual Recurring Savings
Estimates Have Decreased, Due Largely to Increased Implementation
Costs:
Due primarily to the large $14.1 billion increase in one-time
implementation costs, the 20-year net present value of savings DOD can
expect by implementing the 2005 BRAC recommendations has decreased by
72 percent, and our analysis of net annual recurring savings shows a
decrease of 9.5 percent compared to the BRAC Commission's estimates.
Twenty-Year Net Present Value Has Decreased by 72 Percent:
Our analysis of DOD's fiscal year 2011 BRAC 2005 budget submission to
Congress shows that the 20-year net present value of savings of
[Footnote 22] $35.6 billion estimated by the Commission in 2005 for
this BRAC round have decreased by 72 percent to about $9.9 billion.
[Footnote 23] We believe that the 20-year net present value of BRAC
recommendations is a key indicator of the net result from up-front
implementation costs and the resulting savings because it takes into
account the time value of money; that is, it considers when a dollar
amount, such as savings, is received during the 20-year period. As a
result, annual savings and other dollar amounts receive different
weights depending on when they occur, reflecting the fact that savings
received further into the future are less valuable than savings
received sooner. For the 2005 BRAC round, both DOD and the BRAC
Commission calculated the net present value over a 20-year period
ending in 2025 that we believe provides a comprehensive analysis of
expected costs or savings.
Our analysis of the change in net present value showed that nine
recommendations had decreases over $1 billion each, and that three of
these nine recommendations experienced decreases of over $2 billion
each as shown in table 3.

[End of table]
Eight of the nine recommendations experiencing the greatest decrease
in 20-year net present value have been discussed earlier in this
report as they were in the group of recommendations where costs
increased the most. However, the recommendation to establish joint
bases has not been discussed in this report.[Footnote 24] As depicted
in table 3, the 20-year net present value for that recommendation
decreased by almost $2.1 billion. The BRAC Commission estimated in
2005 that joint basing would produce a positive 20-year net present
value of $2.3 billion; however, DOD is now estimating that joint
basing efforts will only result in a 20-year net present value of
about $249 million. As we reported in 2009,[Footnote 25] the joint
basing initiative may be increasing rather than cutting costs, at
least in the short term, because, prior to joint basing, the military
services had not normally funded installation support in the amounts
needed to meet their existing standards, and DOD now requires the
joint bases to deliver installation support in accordance with the new
standards. DOD officials stated that the increased support costs at
the joint bases might be at least partially offset over time as
experience is gained and new efficiencies are identified and adopted.
Table 3 also illustrates how increases in up-front costs can
negatively affect the net present value of a recommendation.
In addition to the decline in 20-year net present value, the number of
recommendations that are expected to produce a negative 20-year net
present value (in other words, at the end of the 20-year period, those
recommendations will incur higher costs than any savings) has
increased significantly. Specifically, DOD proposed 23 recommendations
to the BRAC Commission that were based on its assessment of high
military value but were expected to have a negative 20-year net
present value. After its review, the Commission approved 30
recommendations that were expected to result in negative 20-year net
present value. However, our analysis of DOD's 2011 BRAC budget data
shows DOD is now expecting 75 out of 182 Commission-approved BRAC 2005
recommendations (41 percent) to have a negative net present value in
the same 20-year period. In contrast, only four recommendations DOD
developed in all four prior BRAC rounds combined were not expected to
result in a positive 20-year net present value. See enclosure III for
a list of 20-year net present value estimates for all BRAC 2005
recommendations and enclosure IV for the differences between the BRAC
Commission estimates and DOD's fiscal year 2011 budget estimates for
each recommendation.
Net Annual Recurring BRAC Savings Have Decreased by 9.5 Percent:
With regard to annual recurring savings, our analysis of DOD's fiscal
year 2011 BRAC 2005 budget submission to Congress shows that DOD's net
annual recurring savings estimates resulting from BRAC 2005 have
decreased by $400 million to about $3.8 billion,[Footnote 26] a 9.5
percent decrease from the Commission's estimate of $4.2 billion.
[Footnote 27] Three recommendations--two related to realigning defense
logistics functions and one to develop joint bases--accounted for most
of the decrease in net annual recurring savings, primarily due to
estimated efficiencies that did not materialize. Specifically, the net
annual recurring savings to realign supply, storage, and distribution
management decreased by $184.5 million, and for the recommendation to
consolidate depot-level reparable procurement management decreased by
almost $76 million. The net recurring savings for the recommendation
to develop joint bases decreased by $151.4 million. Some of the
decreases in net annual recurring savings were offset by
recommendations that had increases in net annual recurring savings.
For example, the recommendation to consolidate the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service had the largest increase in estimated net annual
recurring savings of $396.3 million. The larger than expected savings
for this recommendation resulted from the recommendation being
completed earlier than scheduled, thus allowing savings to begin to
accrue sooner. See enclosure V for a list of DOD's estimated annual
recurring savings from all BRAC 2005 recommendations, and enclosure VI
for the differences between the BRAC Commission estimates and DOD's
fiscal year 2011 budget estimates for each recommendation.
Concluding Observations:
Notwithstanding the $14.1 billion increase in one-time implementation
costs of the 2005 BRAC round, which in turn decreased the amount of 20-
year net savings DOD expected to achieve by 72 percent compared to the
BRAC Commission's estimates, OSD officials told us that the department
still expects that implementing BRAC 2005 recommendations will enhance
military value, defense operations, and defense management. We are
continuing to analyze the BRAC 2005 implementation and plan to issue a
report later this year on lessons learned that could be applied to any
future BRAC round.

[A] Data provided by DOD for fiscal year 2012 expected recurring costs
and savings.
[B] In May 2005, DOD proposed closing Cannon AFB, New Mexico. In
September 2005, the BRAC Commission stated that Cannon could remain
open if DOD identified a new mission for the base. Subsequently, the
Air Force announced in June 2006 that Cannon would remain open because
it plans to activate a new mission at the base. The Air Force BRAC
Office said it claimed these savings because the decision to
reallocate Air Force resources and mission to Cannon was made after
the BRAC recommendation was approved and was, therefore, a non-BRAC
programmatic decision.

Enclosure VII: Comments from the Department of Defense
Office of The Under Secretary Of Defense:
Acquisition, Technology And Logistics:
3000 Defense Pentagon:
Washington, DC 20301-3000:
June 21, 2012:
Mr. Brian Lepore:
Director, Defense Capabilities and Management:
U.S. Government Accountability Office:
441 G Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20548:
Dear Mr. Lepore:
This is the Department of Defense (DoD) response to the GAO Draft
Report, GAO-12-709R, "Military Base Realignment and Closures: Updated
Costs and Savings Estimates for BRAC 2005," dated May 16, 2012 (GAO
Code 351722).
The report accurately describes changes in costs and savings from the
original Commission estimates to the Department's final cost and
savings data. As stated publicly, the Department continues to believe
that the BRAC process is the only fair, objective, and proven process
for closing and realigning bases in the United States.
We continue to appreciate the good working relationship that exists
among our staffs and look forward to continuing this into the future
as GAO examines lessons learned from BRAC 2005.
Sincerely,
Signed by:
Dorothy Robyn:
Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment):

Footnotes:
1. The BRAC process is governed by the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990, originally passed as Title XXIX of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991, Pub. L. No.
101-510 (1990). It has subsequently been amended many times, including
in 2001, when Congress authorized BRAC 2005 as part of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-107
(2001).
2. The statute authorizing BRAC 2005, Pub. L. No. 107-107, § 3002
(2001), amended the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990
by inserting a new section, § 2913, which established “military value”
as the primary consideration for BRAC recommendations and specified a
number of considerations for determining military value, along with
other selection criteria.
3. DOD spelled out its final criteria at 69 Fed. Reg. 6948 (2004).
Congress codified the criteria as adopted by DOD, with only minor
modifications. Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2005, Pub. L. No. 108-375, § 2832 (2004).
4. Military value relate to such considerations as an installation’s
current and future mission capabilities, condition, ability to
accommodate future needs, and cost of operations. The criteria are
spelled out at § 2913(b) of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Act of 1990 (as amended).
5. This dollar amount is based on DOD’s fiscal year 2011 budget
submission to Congress to pay for continuing implementation of
recommendations from prior BRAC rounds (BRAC 1988, 1991, 1993, and
1995). This amount does not include other costs associated with BRAC,
such as costs to complete environmental cleanup at BRAC bases in
future years and costs incurred by other DOD and federal agencies to
provide assistance to communities and individuals impacted by BRAC. DOD’
s budget submission is reported in current dollars (i.e., it includes
projected inflation).
6. Net present value is a financial calculation that accounts for the
time value of money by determining the present value of future savings
minus up-front investment costs over a specific period of time.
Determining net present value is important because it illustrates both
the up-front investment costs and long-term savings in a single
amount. In the context of BRAC implementation, net present value is
calculated for a 20-year period from 2006 through 2025.
7. The net annual recurring savings is calculated by deducting DOD
estimates of the annual recurring costs from the annual recurring
savings that are expected to accrue in 2012, the year after the BRAC
2005 recommendations have been completed and are expected to be in a
steady state.

Factors Contributing to BRAC 2005 Results, [hyperlink,
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-513T] (Washington, D.C.: Mar. 8,
2012).
10. H.R. Rep. No. 110-146, at 514 (2007).
11. We used fiscal year 2011 budget data because these data comprise DOD
’s final request to fund the BRAC 2005 account before the September
15, 2011, statutory deadline for completion of closures and
realignments for the 2005 round.
12. The $35.1 billion includes $1.2 billion in program management and
administration costs that are spread across the BRAC 2005
implementation program.
13. The $35.1 billion in one-time implementation cost DOD calculated
using fiscal year 2011 dollars for its budget requests, which includes
inflation, while the BRAC Commission estimate of $21 billion is in
constant fiscal year 2005 dollars, which excludes inflation. In
constant 2005 dollars, costs increased to about $32.2 billion, an
increase of 53 percent.
14. The BRAC Commission forwarded 182 recommendations to the President
who approved them in their entirety. Our analysis shows DOD requested
funds to implement 175 recommendations because seven recommendations
do not involve implementation costs for various reasons.
15. We calculated the 20-year net present value estimate in constant
fiscal year 2005 dollars (i.e., it excludes projected inflation) to be
consistent with DOD and the BRAC Commission’s methodology and
reporting of this estimate.
16. The net annual recurring savings is calculated by deducting DOD
estimates of the annual recurring costs from the annual recurring
savings that are expected to accrue in 2012, the year after the BRAC
2005 recommendations have been completed and will be in a steady state.
17. The BRAC Commission estimates are in constant (i.e., exclude
projected inflation) 2005 dollars, while DOD’s fiscal year 2011
estimates are in current (i.e., include projected inflation) dollars.
When deflated to constant 2005 dollars, the current one-time
implementation cost becomes $32.2 billion, an increase of about 53
percent from the BRAC Commission’s estimate.
18. Pub. L. No. 110-417, § 2721; 122 Stat. 4716 (2008). The May 2009
report by the National Capital Region Base Realignment and Closure
Health Systems Advisory Subcommittee of the Defense Health Board,
prepared in response to this congressional direction, defined a “world-
class medical facility” as one that, among other things, routinely
performs at the theoretical limit of what is possible.
19. Section 2708 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2008, Pub. L. No. 110-181 (2008) specified a site selection
process that required the Army to consider a General Services
Administration (GSA)-controlled site in Springfield, VA, and select a
site "based on the best value to the government" considering cost and
schedule. The proposal process identified two private sites that the
Army compared against a GSA site and sites on Fort Belvoir. The Mark
Center site was acquired after being selected as the best value.
20. The BRAC Commission, in another recommendation, directed the Air
Force to transfer real property accountability for Pope Air Force Base
to the Army, making it part of Fort Bragg.
21. A strategic distribution platform is a regional hub consisting of
multiple spokes, known as forward distribution points, which provide
supplies to designated customers. Under this recommendation,
distribution depots no longer needed for regional supply were
realigned as forward distribution points, and all their supply and
storage functions were consolidated.
22. In the context of BRAC, net present value is the total one-time
costs minus the total net savings that DOD expects to incur from
fiscal year 2006 through fiscal year 2025 to project 20-year savings
at a 2.8 percent discount rate. We used data provided by DOD for
fiscal year 2012 expected savings.
23. Twenty-year net present value figures are expressed in constant
fiscal year 2005 dollars.
24. The 2005 BRAC Commission recommended that DOD establish 12 joint
bases by consolidating the management and support of 26 separate Army,
Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps installations, which shared a common
boundary with or were in close proximity to at least one other base.
OSD’s 2008 guidance on implementing joint basing provided for the
creation of a set of joint base common standards for installation
support functions-—such as for installation security, custodial
services, and child care programs—-that defined the level of service
each joint base is to provide. GAO expects to issue a separate report
on joint basing later this year.

Support Standards and Costs at Joint Bases and Better Inform Congress
of Facility Sustainment Funding Use, [hyperlink,
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-09-336] (Washington, D.C.: Mar. 30,
2009).
26. As we have previously reported, we and the BRAC Commission believe
that DOD’s net annual recurring savings estimates are overstated
because they include savings from eliminating military personnel
positions without corresponding decreases in end-strength. DOD
disagrees with our position.
27. The net annual recurring savings is calculated by deducting DOD
estimates of the annual recurring costs from the annual recurring
savings that are expected to accrue in 2012, the year after the BRAC
2005 recommendations have been completed and will be in a steady state.
