South Carolina bases seen as pivotal to national defense

South Carolina officials and military experts say local bases including Shaw Air Force Base and McEntire ANG Base may avoid closure as Pentagon plans rounds of base cuts. They point to strong regional missions and potential new roles, with $7.3 billion in state business tied to the military and 142,000 local jobs.

BRAC Process Sets Timeline for Base Closures and Realignments

The Defense Department advances the fifth BRAC round with a May 15 deadline for the defense secretary to list installations for closure or realignment. A Sept. 8 panel deadline to present findings to President Bush follows, with presidential approval or disapproval due by Sept. 23. The process includes 45 day binding periods and potential revisions by Nov. 7 if needed, ending by April 15, 2006. South Carolina cites Myrtle Beach AFB and Charleston Naval Base closures in prior rounds, as local leaders urge weight on the state's military heritage during Rumsfeld’s decisions.
