Local communities brace for economic loss in the US and around the world due to BRAC

Local communities are bracing for the economic losses that they expect when their bases closes. This is not only effecting communities here in the states but also in places like Europe. The Pentagon has also recommended troop reductions there as well since Russia is no longer a threat. Some communities that have lost bases have been able to recover from the initial economic loss. Many military families could be effected by bases being reduced abroad. The Pentagon would like to create a rapid redeployment troops. This would mean a soldier would leave his family here in the states while there on their temporary assignment in a given country. Some military leaders worry that this will result in reduced re-enlistment.
