Army Force Structure: The Relocation of the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade
(Letter Report, 10/07/93, GAO/NSIAD-94-15)
GAO Report in PDF Format [1.15 Mb] The Army based its decision to relocate the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade to Fort Gordon, Georgia, on operational considerations, although GAO notes that the Brigade's current location in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, could also meet the 513th's wartime deployment requirements. The Fort Gordon site should boost unit training opportunities since it has many more open training areas and on-post firing ranges. Since 1982, the Army has invested about $11 million in facilities and other projects supporting the 513th's operations at Fort Monmouth. The Army expects the relocation of the 513th to Fort Gordon to yield savings in construction and renovation costs, housing and cost-of-living allowances, and training expenses. Moving 513th units from Fort Monmouth to Fort Gordon should have no effect on the missions of either the 513th or other groups that will stay at Fort Monmouth--the Army's Communications-Electronics Command and the FBI's regional computer facility. --------------------------- Indexing Terms ----------------------------- REPORTNUM: NSIAD-94-15 TITLE: Army Force Structure: The Relocation of the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade DATE: 10/07/93 SUBJECT: Defense contingency planning Military training Army personnel Centralization Military forces Defense capabilities Intelligence gathering operations Operations analysis Defense cost control Defense operations IDENTIFIER: Desert Storm Desert Shield Panama Canal Treaty Implementation Plan ************************************************************************ See the GAO FAQ - Section 2.0 for printed copy ordering information.
