ALABAMA  

   

SUMMARY:  MILITARY  SPENDING  IN  ALABAMA        GENERAL    Alabama  is  10th  in  the  country  in  Pentagon  prime  contract  awards,  receiving  nearly  $9  billion  in  FY2011.    It  is  8th  in  the  country  with  $1,854.80  in  contract  awards  per  capita.    Prime  Pentagon  spending  accounted  for  5.9%  of  Alabama’s  overall  GDP  in  2011.      MILITARY  BASES    1)    Redstone  Arsenal  (about  11,000  personnel)  –  Home  to  Army  rocket  and  missile  programs  and  components  of  Defense  Intelligence  Agency  and  Missile  Defense  Agency    2)  Fort  Rucker  (about  11,000  personnel)  –  Home  to  the  Army’s  Aviation  units  (e.g.,  Center  of  Excellence,  Technical  Test  Center)      CONTRACTORS    Boeing  is  the  largest  contractor  in  Alabama,  employing  around  2,500  employees  at  its  Huntsville,  AL  location.    This  location  is  the  headquarters  for  Boeing’s  Strategic  Missile  &  Defense  Systems  division,  and  key  programs  include  work  on  a  $3  billion  Ground-­‐based  Midcourse  Defense  (GMD)  weapon  system  contract.    The  partnership  of  Army  Fleet  Support  and  L-­‐3  Integrated  Systems  provides  aviation  maintenance  and  support  for  the  Aviation  Center  Logistics  Command  and  Fort  Rucker’s  tenants.    It  is  based  on  Fort  Rucker  and  employs  4,000.                          

     

DETAILED  PROFILE:  MILITARY  SPENDING  IN  ALABAMA      ALABAMA  MILITARY  BASES  

1-­‐  Redstone  Arsenal  -­‐  (11,457  total:  1,783  active  duty  and  9,674  civilians)  

Mission:  

• “For  more  than  40  years,  Redstone  has  been  the  heart  of  the  Army's  rocket  and  missile  programs.”  

• “’Team  Redstone's’  mission  is  to  perform  basic  and  advanced  weapons  system  research  and  development,  placing  the  right  missile  and  aviation  systems  with  the  troops,  keeping  them  ready  to  fight,  providing  weapon  systems,  services  and  supplies  to  our  allies,  managing  weapon  systems  such  as  the  Cobra  and  PATRIOT,  and  supporting  project  managers  within  the  program  executive  office  structure.”  

• “Today,  Redstone  is  home  to  the  U.S.  Army  Aviation  and  Missile  Command  (AMCOM),  the  Space  and  Missile  Defense  Command,  numerous  Program  Executive  Offices  (PEO),  and  major  components  of  the  Defense  Intelligence  Agency  and  the  Missile  Defense  Agency.  Also  located  here  are  numerous  tenant  and  satellite  organizations.”  (Redstone)  

Community:  

• Located  in  the  heart  of  the  Tennessee  Valley,  in  northern  Alabama.  • Total  population  served:  157,223  Soldiers  (Active,  retired,  and  dependents)  and  27,620  civilians  • “We  have  currently  identified  a  net  increase  in  positions  associated  for  BRAC  2005  for  Redstone  

Arsenal.  While  the  actual  numbers  are  still  very  subject  to  change,  we  currently  estimate  that  the  net  increase  will  exceed  4000  personnel.  This  includes  military,  civilians  and  government  contractors.”        NOTE:  BRAC  stands  for  Base  Realignment  and  Closure,  a  process  under  which  an  independent  commission  chooses  a  list  of  bases  to  be  closed  or  scaled  back  and  then  Congress  is  required  to  vote  the  entire  list  up  or  down.    This  process  is  meant  to  prevent  members  from  pushing  to  save  bases  in  their  states  independently  of  the  need  for  them.    In  this  case  it  appears  that  Redstone  is  gaining  personnel  from  another  base  that  is  being  closed..    

o It  is  estimated  that  BRAC  will  create  an  additional  5,000  indirect  support  jobs  

Redstone  FAQ,  Redstone  Mission  

 

2-­‐  Fort  Rucker  –  (6,862:  4,460  active  duty  and  2,402  civilians)    

  Mission:  

• Serves  as  the  headquarters  for  the  Army’s  Aviation,  including  the  Army’s  Aviation  Center  of  Excellence  

• “The  U.S.  Army  Aviation  Center  of  Excellence  trains  military,  civilian,  and  international  personnel  in  aviation  and  leadership  skills,  integrates  Army  aviation  war  fighting  doctrine  and  requirements  determination  across  the  DOTMLPF  (doctrine,  organization,  training,  materiel,  leadership  and  education,  personnel  and  facilities),  manages  available  resources,  and  sustains  our  commitment  to  the  well-­‐being  of  our  Soldiers,  civilians,  retirees,  and  Families.”  (Wikipedia)    

• “The  US  Army  Aviation  Technical  Test  Center  is  the  only  test  center  that  focuses  on  flight  testing  of  the  aircraft,  associated  systems,  the  aviator,  and  the  maintainer.”  (Globalsecurity)  

• “The  1st  Aviation  Brigade  commands  two  distinctly  different  training  battalions,  each  with  a  unique  mission.  It  is  normally  staffed  at  a  combined  strength  of  approximately  500  permanent  soldiers  and  civilian  employees,  with  more  than  2,000  military  students  enrolled  at  any  given  time.”  (Globalsecurity)  

• The  2005  BRAC  sought  to  realign  and  consolidate  army  bases  by  transferring  many  of  the  responsibilities  from  Fort  Eustis,  VA  to  Fort  Rucker.  However,  the  commission  rejected  the  recommendations  of  the  Secretary  of  Defense.  Fort  Eustis  was  later  combined  with  Air  Force  base,  Fort  Langley.  (Globalsecurity)  

Community:  

• “Located  in  the  southeast  corner  of  lower  Alabama…approximately  80  miles  south  of  Montgomery  and  20  miles  northwest  of  Dothan.”  

• “Fort  Rucker  supports  a  daytime  population  of  about  14,000,  including  about  5,100  service  members,  6,400  civilian  and  contract  employees,  and  3,200  military  family  members  residing  on  post.  This  post  supports  about  14,500  retirees.”  (Globalsecurity)  

• “Fort  Rucker  operates  much  like  any  hometown.  After  all,  the  post  is  virtually  a  small  city.  The  Garrison  Command  functions  much  like  a  city  manager's  office  by  overseeing  the  services  and  support  necessary  for  the  daily  operations  of  a  city.”  (Globalsecurity)

1-­‐  Camp  Pendleton  –  (49,114  total:  46,242  active  duty,  2,872  civilians  in  2009)    

Mission:  • “Marine  Corps  Base  Camp  Pendleton's  mission  is  to  operate  a  training  base  that  promotes  the  

combat  readiness  of  the  Operating  Forces  and  the  mission  of  other  tenant  commands  by  providing  training  opportunities,  facilities,  services  and  support  responsive  to  the  needs  of  Marines,  Sailors  and  their  families.”  (Pendleton)  

• “Camp  Pendleton  is  one  of  the  Department  of  Defense's  busiest  installations  and  offers  a  broad  spectrum  of  training  facilities  for  many  active  and  reserve  Marine,  Army  and  Navy  units,  as  well  as  national,  state  and  local  agencies.”  (Pendleton)  

o ”The  coastal  and  mountain  terrain  support  a  variety  of  military  training.  Fleet  Marine  Force  units  use  Camp  Pendleton's  ranges  and  training  areas  to  maintain  combat  readiness.”  (Marines)  

 Community:  

• “Located  approximately  38  miles  from  downtown  San  Diego  in  North  County  and  82  miles  south  of  Los  Angeles”  

• “Camp  Pendleton  has  been  the  largest  employer  in  North  San  Diego  County  for  more  than  60  years.”  

• The  Base's  regional  economic  impact  is  estimated  at  $6.1  Billion.  • “More  than  38,000  military  family  members  occupy  base  housing  complexes.  However,  with  a  

daytime  population  of  70,000  military  and  civilian  personnel,  the  Marines,  Sailors  and  their  families  rely  on  the  surrounding  communities  for  retail  goods  and  services  not  available  on  Base.”  

• “Its  location  on  the  Pacific  Coast  between  the  congested  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego  metropolitan  areas  leaves  it  vulnerable  to  a  variety  of  encroachment  concerns.  In  particular,  rapid  growth  of  adjacent  communities  (in  some  cases  literally  abutting  the  base  boundaries)  poses  a  variety  of  challenges.”

• “The  base  is  a  workplace  for  approximately  30,000  military,  civilian  and  contract  personnel.”  • “Calculating  the  impact  of  all  Defense  Spending  in  San  Diego  Country:  Based  on  the  RIMS  II  

economic  multiplier  program,  we  calculate  that  in  FY2009  direct  spending  catalyzed  $30.5  billion  in  economic  impact  and  sustained  approximately  354,627  jobs  with  earnings  impact  of  $16.3  billion.  These  impacts  represent  15.1%,  8.1%,  and  10.9%  increases,  respectively,  from  FY2008,  which  exceed  the  projections  in  the  2010  SDMAC  Military  Economic  Impact  Study.  Note  that  tourism  (another  important  sector  to  San  Diego)  had  $15.9  billion  in  economic  impact  during  2009,  approximately  half  the  impact  of  defense  spending.”  

o According  to  the  base  website,  the  base  today  has  a  plant  value  of  around  $2.1  billion.

DETAILED  PROFILE:    MILITARY  SPENDING  IN  NORTH  CAROLINA  

 

NORTH  CAROLINA  MILITARY  BASES  

A  study  from  2007  showed  that  military  activities  in  North  Carolina  contributed  23.4  billion  dollars,  or  7%,  of  the  state’s  GDP.      More  than  416,000  individuals,  or  8  percent  of  total  state  employment,  are  either  directly  employed  by  the  military  or  Coast  Guard,  or  have  jobs  that  are  supported  by  military  installations  in  North  Carolina.  The  study  was  prepared  by  the  NC  Department  of  Commerce  and  released  in  June  2008.    

1-­‐  Camp  Lejeune  –  (44,286  total:  40,789  active  duty  and  3,497  civilians  in  2009)  

• The  base  is  a  major  training  facility  for  the  Marine  Corps.  The  base's  11  miles  of  beaches  make  it  a  major  area  for  amphibious  assault  training,  and  its  location  between  two  deep-­‐water  ports  (Wilmington  and  Morehead  City)  allows  for  fast  deployments.  

o “It  also  has  32  gun  positions,  48  tactical  landing  zones,  three  state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art  training  facilities  for  Military  Operations  in  Urban  Terrain  and  80  live  fire  ranges  to  include  the  Greater  Sandy  Run  Training  Area.”  (About)  

• It  is  the  home  base  for  the  II  Marine  Expeditionary  Force,  2nd  Marine  Division,  2nd  Marine  Logistics  Group  and  other  combat  units  and  support  commands.  Today,  as  in  the  past,  Camp  Lejeune's  mission  remains  the  same  —  to  maintain  combat-­‐ready  units  for  expeditionary  deployment.  

• Key  units  at  the  base:  o “II  Marine  Expeditionary  Force  (MEF)  is  one  of  three  MEFs  in  the  Marine  Corps...  A  MEF  

is  a  combined  arms  force  consisting  of  ground,  air  and  logistics  forces.  It  possesses  the  capability  for  projecting  offensive  combat  power  ashore  while  sustaining  itself  in  combat  without  external  assistance  for  a  period  of  60  days.”  (II  MEF  link)  

§ “With  more  than  62,000  Marines  and  sailors,  II  MEF  is  representative  of  the  largest  and  most  powerful  Marine  Air-­‐Ground  Task  Force  (MAGTF).”  

§ “11  MEF  is  comprised  of:  (1)  II  MEF  Headquarters  Group  containing  personnel  and  equipment  (2)  A  ground  combat  element,  the  2nd  Marine  Division  (3)  An  aviation  combat  element,  the  2nd  Marine  Aircraft  Wing  (not  at  Lejeune)  and  (4)  A  combat  service  support  element,  the  2nd  Marine  Logistics  Group.  

§ The  2nd  Marine  Division  deployed  at  least  4  times  to  Iraq  and  Afghanistan”    o The  camp  also  hosts  the  22nd,  24th,  and  26th  Marine  Expeditionary  Units.  The  MEU  is  

“As  a  powerful,  mobile  force  deployable  from  self-­‐contained  floating  sea  bases,  the  MEU  is  uniquely  equipped  and  forward-­‐deployed  to  respond  to  any  threat,  protect  any  American  or  ally,  or  squash  any  menace  at  any  place  in  the  world,  often  within  hours.”  The  MEU  consists  of  approximately  2,200  Marines  and  Sailors  embarked  aboard  several  amphibious  ships.  (MEU  link)  

o “On  Feb.  24,  2006  the  Marine  Special  Operations  Regiment activated  at  Camp  Lejeune,  N.C.  [It]  initially  consisted  of  a  small  staff  and  the  Foreign  Military  Training  Unit,  which  had  been  formed  to  conduct  foreign  internal  defense.”  (MSOR  link)  

• “The  base  and  surrounding  community  is  home  to  an  active  duty,  dependent,  retiree  and  civilian  employee  population  of  approximately  170,000  people.  The  base  generates  almost  $3  billion  in  commerce  each  year,  coming  from  payrolls  and  contracts  to  support  the  structure  required  to  train  and  equip  our  modern  Marines.”  (Base  webpage).    

o A  Marine  Corps  report  stated  the  economic  impact  in  2011  of  Camp  Lejeune  as  $4,296,525,129  (Marine  Corp  report,  page  11)
