U.S. Congress has been reducing appropriated funds and personnel from the DOD since 2001 and cut 25% in inflation dollars since 2011.  Reducing the availability funds creates a need to evaluate how useable facility space and how it’s utilized to support the readiness to defend and support the citizens of the U.S.

This project actually addresses the above need for adequate facility space to support state emergencies, identify which facilities need added soldier strength to support the local communities and support EXORD 164-15.

As of 7 April 2015 EXORD 164-15: Reduce the Installation Facility Footprint, requires the disposal of all excess and poorly maintain facilities from the inventory to conserve funding. 

To the citizens of Washington this project ensures during emergencies theirs a facility nearby to provide shelter, base to destitute food, supplies, personnel and equipment to the community.
