article: SECTION 1. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The roles of the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, and the resources necessary for homeland defense, are still evolving. (2) The decision to conduct an additional round of base closures and realignments in 2005 was developed before the tragic events of September 11, 2001. (3) The long-term, costs, and personnel requirements of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle, and Operation Iraqi Freedom are still unknown. (4) Additional funds are necessary to adequately supply the Armed Forces for current missions, while expediting military transformation. (5) The Congress will not have the opportunity to thoroughly review and consider the policy decisions culminating in the Global Posture Review before decisions regarding the closure and realignment of military installations will be required in the 2005 round of base closures and realignments. (6) The expected costs of implementing and executing base closures and realignments recommended in the 2005 round is estimated at $15,000,000,000 and net savings from such base closures and realignments will not be realized until approximately 2011.
