<p>As  the  result  of  the  deliberations  of  the  1993  Base  Realignment  and  Closure  (BRAC)  Commission, the  Department  of  Defense  will  close  or  realign  over  100  military  iitallations,  at  a  cost  of  over  $5.5 billion.  This  study  provides  an  analysis  of  the  effect  of  budget  reductions  on  military  force  structure realignment.  The  realignment  of  P-3  squadrons  that  results  from  the  closure  of  NAS  Barbers  Point  is  used as  a  case  analysis  to  gain  insight  into  the  effect  of  BRAC  related  Military  Construction  (MILCON) reductions  on  the  P-3  force  structure  decisions. The  thesis  compares  MILCON  cost  figures  for  the  various  P-3  realignment  options  that  are  being  or have  been  considered,  then  draws  conclusions  on  the  effect  of  MILCON  deferrals  on  this  realignment. The  enclosed  data  indicates  that  the  NAS  Whidbey  Island  single-site  plan  will  save  over  $100  million  in up-front  MILCON  cost  as  compared  to  dual-site  plans  that  include  MCAS  Kaneohe  Bay  as  a  P-3  receiver site.  Also,  the  effect  of  BRAC-related  MILCON  deferrals  will  be  to  significantly  increase  OMN  and MPN  account  costs  over  the  FYDP  by  forcing  the  delay  of  base  closures.
