Fort Gillem - Base Realignment and Closure

Base Realignment and Closure

On May 13, 2005, the Base Realignment and Closure commission recommended that this base be closed. This may be subject to change by the President of the United States and the United States Congress. It will likely not be closed due to hazardous materials that are stored permanently underground on the facility. Most of Fort Gillem was closed and an enclavement was left for the United States Army Reserves.

Famous quotes containing the word base:

    “In the land of turkeys in turkey weather
    At the base of the statue, we go round and round.
    What a beautiful history, beautiful surprise!
    Monsieur is on horseback. The horse is covered with mice.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
