Transfer of Lands Containing Unexploded Ordnance Proves Difficult http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG199.html Jan 13, 2005 Jan 13, 2005 <p>In the ongoing process of U.S. Army base closure and realignment, lands containing unexploded ordnance have proved particularly difficult and costly to transfer. With few exceptions, little progress has been made.</p> Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and Organizational Restructuring in the DoD: Implications for Education and Training Infrastructure http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG153.html Oct 27, 2004 Oct 27, 2004 <p>The Department of Defense (DoD) often improves its efficiency by consolidating facilities (mainly through base realignment and closure, or BRAC) and changing its governance structure. These shifts significantly affect the education, training, and development (ET&amp;D) institutions that support DoD personnel, with such impact as relocation. With an eye toward the 2005 BRAC, RAND researchers look at four case studies of the 1990s and from them make recommendations for ET&amp;D institutions that may be affected by future shifts in defense infrastructure.</p> Base Realignment and Closure: An Opportunity to Reassess DoD's Civilian Education and Training Infrastructure http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9131.html Dec 31, 2003 Dec 31, 2003 Taking Stock of the Army's Base Realignment and Closure Selection Process http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1337.html Jan 1, 2001 Jan 1, 2001 The Army has been doing its part to help downsize the defense establishment, closing 23 major installations in the four rounds of base closures and realignments, closing many more minor installations, and realigning others. Balancing Strategy, Forces, and Resources: Lessons for the Current Defense Review http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB73.html Dec 31, 2000 Dec 31, 2000 Change in the international environment and the nature of threats to U.S. interests-as well as the size of defense budgets-have placed tremendous strain on the U.S. policymakers who sought to achieve a balance between strategy, forces, and resources. Infrastructure Reform: Golden Goose or False Hope? http://www.rand.org/pubs/conf_proceedings/CF133.html Dec 31, 1996 Dec 31, 1996 This document describes strategies for streamlining Department of Defense (DoD) infrastructure in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The authors conclude that DoD will have to create a panoply of incentives to achieve desired savings. Improving the Department of Defense's Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB7107.html Dec 31, 1995 Dec 31, 1995 Evaluated cleanup projects at nine closing bases in California, using a case studies approach. Although cleanup projects occur in a complex context that tends to inhibit innovation, there are enough flexibilities in the law to allow interim goals. Priority-Setting and Strategic Sourcing in the Naval Research, Development, and Technology Infrastructure http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR588.html Dec 31, 1994 Dec 31, 1994 This report suggests ways in which the Dept. of the Navy might realize more value from its increasingly constrained research, development, and technology (RD&T) dollars. California Base Closure: Lessons for DoD's Cleanup Program http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR621.html Dec 31, 1994 Dec 31, 1994 An examination of the policies developed to bring about accelerated cleanup of military bases now closing in California and the relevance of those policies to other Department of Defense cleanup programs and hazardous waste policy in general.
