Army Faces Smaller Round of Base Closings Says Perry
Defense Secretary Perry said the current base closing round will be smaller than expected after pushback from the services. He noted earlier closings were easier and warned future rounds will be harder, with 15 billion dollars needed to close the 70 bases and over four billion in annual savings by the end of the decade. The Army is seen as providing most closures this year, though Fort Carson and Fort Riley are not expected to be recommended.
