DoD Drawdown Closes More Sites Overseas

American Forces Information Service

     The U.S. military's worldwide drawdown continues, as an
additional 69 European facilities and one Korean site will close or
reduce operations, DoD officials announced recently.
     The latest overseas closure list, the eighth since 1990,
raises the number of sites affected to 628, or 38 percent of DoD's
overseas facilities.  DoD officials said 592 sites are in Europe.
     The latest realignment will affect more than 7,500 people --
5,000 U.S. military personnel, 450 U.S. civilian employees and
2,300 local nationals.  DoD has eliminated more than 90,000
positions since the drawdown began.
     Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney can decide which overseas
installations and facilities to close or reduce operations at
without congressional approval.  The United States and the host
nation governments negotiate dates, closures, reductions and other
details.  When a facility or installation closes, it returns to the
host government.
     DoD officials said Camp Isbell in Seoul is the latest Korean
facility set to close.  Scheduled closures in Korea now stand at
21.
     Two facilities in Germany originally scheduled for partial
return and closure will remain open, said DoD officials.  They are
Strassburg Kaserne at Idar Oberstein and Giesel Forward Storage
Site in Giesel.
