DoD also announced a partial return of the Nescemi Naval Site near Sigonella, Italy, and full return of the naval support facility on the Caribbean island nation of Antigua-Barbuda. The DoD announcement also included three changes to earlier announcements. Going from partial to full return is Lee Barracks in Mainz and Strub Kaserne in Berchtesgaden, Germany. Frankfurt Hospital, announced for return by the Army in 1993 and retained by the Air force last October, is now on standby. This latest listing brings to 879 the number of US overseas installations closed, partially closed or placed on standby status since 1990.
Return means DoD halts operations and returns the entire installation to the host nation.
Partial return means the US maintains some facilities and reduces operations. Standby means DoD ceases operations but maintains the facilities for future use. The CAFB hospital has advised that, as closure draws near, you will have two options regarding your medical records. If you plan on receiving care from a civilian doctor, copies of your records will be made at your request. Visit the Patient Administration Office today to request your copies.
