DoD Announces Installation Realignment in United Kingdom
The Department of Defense announced today that it would cease
operations at RAF Eastcote and reduce operations at RAF West Ruislip, United
Kingdom.
Due to U.S. European Command force structure realignment and
transformation, and the subsequent reduction in installation and personnel
support requirements that have occurred during the past several years, U.S.
Naval Forces Europe has identified these facilities as excess to the Navy's
needs.
Consequently, Navy operations at RAF Eascote will cease by June
30, 2006 and will begin the process of returning facilities to the host nation
by Oct. 1, 2006. This action is expected to save $400,000 annually in
facility costs with additional personnel savings to be realized by 2009. It
will affect 70 U.S. service members, 33 DoD civilian employees and 38 host
nation employees.
Utlimate total annual savings with these actions will be about $10
million.
