As I look at the Army list, nearly all of them make sense. I can't speak for the other services. There is no earthly reason for keeping Ft Monmouth open. It's a few thousand civilians, about a hundred soldiers, and the prep school for West Point. Rock Island is a staff center with a bunch of offices. It, too, is civilian heavy. The same with most of the Army Materiel Command bases. (Rock Island will be hard to "off," though. It sits on the Iowa/Illinois border so that doubles the numbers of Senators and Representatives who will be fighting for it.
