No link?

Why, would the merger be part of any plot of the ruling Progressive elites?

[Red Steel]

Did you see the story on the air?

Pearl Harbor and Hickam are merging, too

Saves duplication of some services and facilties

[svcw]

There are many things to worry about, choose real things - don’t panic it serves no one.

[Jet Jaguar]

No. It just means money savings for the taxpayer. Two separate bases that share a property line.

Two separate billeting offices, two separate security forces, two separate commissaries, two separate exchanges, two separate motor pools, two separate housing offices, two separate contracting offices.

Now, it’s one of each. Ft. Richardson and Elmendorf AFB did this a while back.

Better single facility than two crappy facilities.

[OL Hickory]

RELAX....

NJ is leading this.We lost FT dix to the BRAC closing..Then we made it a national guard training base. This was so sucessful that we now have merged 2 other bases (1 navy..1 air force) with FT dix to create a mega base. This helps out
the local economy, creates jobs and now we have noticed a better communication between the military branches since they are all under one roof.

[Bryanw92]

It isn’t martial law unless they say that Ft Lewis and Tacoma are becoming one base.

[Jedediah]

Yes it was on CNN

[Tigen]

Is it time to take up arms? http://www.rutherford.org/OnTarget/2010/01-19-2010.asp

[big'ol_freeper]

You been dipping into the medical mary-gee-wanna?

[Not A Snowbird]

Of course not. They are co-located; it makes absolute sense to combine the combat service support functions.

It’s not a sign of the coming apocalypse.

No, but a zot should be. zot

[the invisib1e hand]

All your base...etc.

[TankerKC]

WHAT COULD THIS MEAN ! IS MARTIAL LAW RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER ?

No. It is the Joint Base concept. It has been in the works for 5-10 years. It is just an efficient use of base support...sharing motor pools, civil engineers, MPs...etc.

12 New Joint Bases

[Fred Hayek]

Seems to be more of a “logistical” merger. Less duplication of facilities/support functions, more efficiency due to economy of scale. Operationally the bases will likely remain two separate entities, just with common service/support, some of which is likely contracted out.
