Fort Monmouth to close

The Base Realignment and Closure Commission voted to shut down the Army base in Fort Monmouth, N.J.— home to many of the Army’s command and control and research and development programs. In addition to Fort Monmouth, the commission also voted to close Army bases in Virginia, Georgia and Michigan, as well as hundreds of Army Reserve and National Guard installations across the country. The Army’s Training and Doctrine Command headquartered in Fort Monroe, Va., was one of the bases voted to be closed.
