In the last round of BRAC in 1995, Scott received the lowest rating of any major Air Force base, but ultimately none of those bases were shuttered.
But Scott's supporters say the base will earn high marks on other BRAC criteria, like preventing encroachment--development right up to the rim of the base--and promoting "jointness," the practice of housing both Army and Air Force personnel and reservists in the same facility.
