Conference negotiators on the 2016 Defense Authorization Act will convene shortly as Congress comes back from its summer recess. The Defense Department is reviewing the results of base realignment and closure in Europe as it continues to make the case again for another round of BRAC stateside. Michael O'Hanlon, co-director and senior Fellow for Foreign Policy of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution, wrote about BRAC in the National Interest magazine.
