I may be mistaken, but the BRAC reccomendation didn't say Eilson was going to be closed, but that it was going to be realigned. I'm not sure what this means, any guesses?

they are keeping the base open. The Reserve squadron of in-flight re-fuelers will remain. They will still host Cope Thunder exercises.
However, the tactical aircraft (F-16 @ A-10) will be moved to the lower 48, along with all the pilots, maintainers, and support folks.
The base remains open but with only a support mission for the tankers.
It makes no sense.
