I would hope that this isn't a valid list. Nellis and Kirtland both have "one of a kind" facilities...

Isn't Nellis aka Groomlake aka Area-51 fame? They are giving up that great, huge dry lake bed landing area? That does seem odd. Says "realigned" so perhaps just combining with what's ever there now.

In addition to Groom Lake, there's the AF Fighter Weapons School and the RED FLAG ranges. It's the last range in the whole country where the Air Force can practice using some types of anti missile defenses.

Kirtland has the Navy Weapons Center, Monzano Nuclear Storage Area (A huge hollow mountain), Sandia Labs, and dozens of one of a kind test facilities that would have to be duplicated somewheres else.
