3. The Army Strategy
Establish a streamlined portfolio of installations with a significantly reduced cost of ownership that:
Facilitates transformation, joint operations and joint business functions
Accommodates rebasing of overseas units with the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy
Divests of an accumulation of installations that are no longer relevant and are less effective in supporting a Joint and Expeditionary Army

4. BRAC 2005 Helps Reshape the Army
