Converting Military Airfields to Civil Airports - Base Closing Brac Redevelopment Planning for Civilian Aviation Usage, Npias Army, Navy, Air Force Base Facilities Conversion


Book Description

When a base closes, the former military property often presents the affected community with the single greatest asset for overcoming the job losses and other local impacts. Former military airfields often include runways that can accommodate the largest civil aircraft as well as ready-to-use land, buildings, and equipment. If a community determines an opportunity exists for civilian aviation use, airfield conversions have proven to be a vital economic engine for job creation and economic growth. The information in this manual is intended to provide you with a good initial overview, including detailed information on the process to convert former military airfield property to public civilian aviation use, the role of and assistance available from the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as case studies from the local perspective of successful airfield conversions. Additionally, we include websites and points of contact to help you work through the many considerations associated with an airfield conversion.1. The Military Airfield Conversion Opportunity * 2.

Converting Military Airfields to Civil Airports


Book Description

American military bases open, close, contract, or expand to satisfy Defense changes and meet national security challenges. Between 1988 and 1995, 387 military installations were approved for closure or realignment (97 were classi ed as major closures and 55 as major realignments). During these closure years, communities selected 24 of 49 former military air elds for conversion to civil uses, ranging from major metropolitan airports to cargo hubs and general aviation. It was determined during the reuse planning process that many of these former air elds could be a primary engine for attracting new businesses, creating new jobs, and expanding the local economy. The effects of military base closures and realignments are felt locally. Jobs are lost, often large parcels of land are made available for civilian uses, or a signi cant in ux of personnel may strain the local capacity to provide housing, infrastructure, and community services. These Defense actions create challenges for community leaders; thus, the Defense Economic Adjustment Program and the Of ce of Economic Adjustment (OEA) were established to help alleviate the adverse effects of Defense actions, including military base closures and realignments, and to provide transitional guidance to communities. An orderly economic adjustment transition process has evolved. For base closures and realignments, Congress has prescribed the organization, procedures, and timing for local activities that deal with surplus base property. OEA publishes community guidance manuals in order to help communities steer their way through the often traumatic and confusing adjustment period.

Defending Air Bases in an Age of Insurgency


Book Description

This anthology discusses the converging operational issues of air base defense and counterinsurgency. It explores the diverse challenges associated with defending air assets and joint personnel in a counterinsurgency environment. The authors are primarily Air Force officers from security forces, intelligence, and the office of special investigations, but works are included from a US Air Force pilot and a Canadian air force officer. The authors examine lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts as they relate to securing air bases and sustaining air operations in a high-threat counterinsurgency environment. The essays review the capabilities, doctrine, tactics, and training needed in base defense operations and recommend ways in which to build a strong, synchronized ground defense partnership with joint and combined forces. The authors offer recommendations on the development of combat leaders with the depth of knowledge, tactical and operational skill sets, and counterinsurgency mind set necessary to be effective in the modern asymmetric battlefield.

Joint Urban Operations


Book Description

This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective.
