Have you noticed the lack of official Pentagon comment on the BRAC commission final recommendations last week? The jury must still be out in DOD minds. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said Monday that he has yet to decide whether he will recommend President Bush approve the finalized list, according to the Associated Press. Asked for comment during a visit to the Army training center at Ft. Irwin, Calif., Monday, he said the commissioners emphasized economics more than military value.
While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
