	Swords Into Plowshares: Improving BRAC
		Although the criteria have proved to be effective tools for identifying bases for closure and realignment, the application of the criteria arguably has been inconsistent across all of the services' analyses.
		Once BRAC Commission recommendations are approved by Congress, all bases, regardless of service ownership, should be transferred to a single agency or contractor for closure and remediation or for realignment implementation as quickly as possible in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
		The changes in the BRAC process that I have recommended are intended not only to increase the efficiency of the process, thereby saving millions of dollars in implementation and caretaker costs and lost opportunities for savings, but also to improve the attractiveness of BRAC to politicians and affected communities.

	A List Apart: Articles: Good Designers Redesign, Great Designers Realign
		While this article won’t analyze the psychological ambitions of right-brained elites and their innate desire to recreate, it will attempt to describe the difference between redesigning and realigning, as well the advantages of one over the other.
		Thus, the differences between Redesigners and Realigners might be summarized as follows: The desire to redesign is aesthetic-driven, while the desire to realign is purpose-driven.
		Perhaps the best way to educate one’s self in the whys of realigning is to start by saying no. Strategy is often just as much about saying no as it is about saying yes.

	Japan, US struggle with military base realignment - Boston.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		But they agree the feud over the Marines' Futenma air base is the main obstacle to a broad deal on realigning U.S. bases in Japan, part of Washington's plan to transform its military globally into a more flexible force.
		Resolving the Futenma dilemma is vital, expert say, to ensuring Japanese public support for the alliance as both sides seek to enhance security ties and cooperation amid concerns about North Korea's nuclear program and Beijing's military build-up.
		Both sides hope to reach an agreement on Futenma and wrap up a broader deal on base realignment that reduces the U.S. military "footprint" while also improving the ability of the two forces to cooperate before U.S. President George W. Bush meets Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in Japan next month.

	U.S. Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The BRAC 2005 process will help find innovative ways to consolidate, realign, or find alternative uses for current facilities to ensure that the U.S. continues to field the best-prepared and best-equipped military in the world.
		Developing an “Early-Out List” or excluding an arbitrary number of installations from consideration for closure or realignment destroys the Department's ability to conduct a comprehensive rationalization of its infrastructure to its force structure, thereby undermining its efforts to continue transformation of the force to meet the security challenges of the 21st century.
		In order to truly reshape infrastructure to match force structure, realignment options under BRAC 2005 will be critically important; exclusionary lists would restrict realignments and preclude these options.
