Ft. Hood: Local, Army leaders want another BRAC

Local voices are chiming in with the Army’s chief of staff to ask Congress to approve a base realignment and closure commission.
While the gamble could hurt other installations, BRAC could prove favorable for Fort Hood, said retired Col. Bill Parry, executive director of the Heart of Texas Defense Alliance.
“I know that may seem counter-intuitive because people can only think of installations being closed by BRAC,” he said.
However, for Fort Hood, a BRAC at this time could be a good thing, proponents said.
