ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of the Army
announces the availability of the Record
of Decision (ROD) for Army Growth and
Force Structure Realignment. This ROD
announces the Army’s decisions for
growing and realigning U.S. Army
forces within the Continental United
States (CONUS). Pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the Department of the Army
prepared a Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PEIS) that evaluated
the potential environmental and socioeconomic effects associated with
alternatives for Army growth and
realignment. In the Final PEIS, which
was published on 26 OCT, 2007, the
Army identified Alternative Three as
the preferred alternative. The Record of
Decision explains that the Army will
proceed with its preferred alternative,
Alternative Three. This alternative best
supports Army Modular
Transformation; implements Global
Defense Posture Realignment (GDPR)
decisions; adds the necessary Combat
Support and Combat Service Support
Soldiers to the Active and Reserve
components of the Army; and grows the
Army by six Active component Brigade
Combat Teams (BCTs) and fifteen Active
and Reserve component support
brigades. Each of the BCTs will be
Infantry BCTs. In addition, the PEIS
analysis was used to relocate a
Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB)
headquarters and two Heavy Brigade
Combat Teams (HBCTs). The HBCTs
will be activated in Germany and
retained until FY12 and FY13 before
returning to the United States. A return
of these BCTs to the United States is not
a part of previous decisions to
implement Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) 2005. This decision and
analysis within this PEIS do not include
BRAC 2005 stationing actions, which
are considered part of the baseline
condition for analysis. This decision
will result in a total growth in Army
forces by approximately 74,200
Soldiers, and will realign forces to
improve readiness and responsiveness
to meet future challenges.

regarding the ROD can be sent to the

normal business hours Monday through
Friday).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In January
2007, President Bush asked Congress for
authority to increase the overall strength
of the Army by 74,200 Soldiers over the
next five years. This growth will
mitigate shortages in units, Soldiers,
and time to train that would otherwise
inhibit the Army from meeting
readiness goals and supporting strategic
requirements. In September 2007, the
Secretary of Defense approved the
Army’s proposal to accelerate growth for
the Active component and Army
National Guard. The Army must grow,
adjust its force structure, and station its
units and Soldiers to meet the strategic
requirements of the contemporary global
security environment.
The Final PEIS examined major Army
installations within CONUS and their
ability to support new unit stationing
actions in connection with growth and
realignment. The Final PEIS provided
the Army Senior Leadership with an
assessment of environmental and socioeconomic impacts that would be
associated with these actions in
addition to the feedback and concerns of
the public. This information was
considered as part of the decisionmaking process for selecting the final
stationing locations for new units.
Stationing decisions included in the
ROD for Army Growth and Force
Structure Realignment include:
retaining one IBCT at Ft Carson, CO as
the 43rd BCT in Fiscal Year (FY) 08;
activating the 44th BCT at Ft Bliss, TX
in FY09; converting one Heavy Brigade
Combat Team (HBCT) to an IBCT at Ft
Stewart, GA in FY10; and growing three
IBCTs in FY11, one each at Ft Stewart,
GA, Ft Carson, CO, and Ft Bliss, TX.
Two BCTs stationed in Germany will
relocate back to CONUS in FY12 and 13,
respectively. These units are selected for
stationing at Ft Bliss, TX and White
Sands Missile Range, NM. The Army
will also activate eight Active
component support brigades and
restation two others. These actions will
occur at the following locations: In
FY08, an Air Defense Artillery Brigade
headquarters activates at Ft Hood, TX;
in FY09, a Maneuver Enhancement
Brigade (MEB) activates at Ft Leonard
Wood, MO; in FY10 a Fires Brigade
activates at Ft Bliss, TX; in FY11, an
Expeditionary Sustainment Command
Headquarters activates at Ft Lewis, WA,
PO 00000

and a Sustainment Brigade activates at
Ft Hood, TX; in FY13, a (BfSB) activates
at Ft Polk, LA and a MEB will be
restationed to Fort Drum, NY.
The restationing of a MEB is
tentatively being considered for Fort
Richardson, AK in FY 2010. The Army
is considering the stationing of an
Engineer Brigade and a Military Police
Brigade at Schofield Barracks, HI. These
actions will ensure the proper balance
of combat support units and command
and control functions are available in
the Pacific theater to support training
and operational requirements. A final
decision on these actions will not be
made until a supplemental NEPA
analysis is completed to analyze
impacts of stationing actions in the
Pacific theater.
