MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Army Stationing Strategy

1. We must begin a detailed analysis now to develop our stationing requirements toensure that the Army is fully postured to successfully execute Transformation and theanalysisin supportof the 2005BaseRealignmentandClosure(BRAC-05)effort. .

The first step in this process is publishing a stationing strategy that fully articulates theArmy's stationing vision, goals, objectives, and principles.

2. Our stationing decisions can help or hinder our strategic responsiveness and overallinstitutional effectiveness. Location affects logistics, training capacity, operating costs,and environmental constraints. Layout affects operating efficiency and unit cohesion.The "look and feel" of an installation affects morale, recruiting, and retention. Lease orbuild decisions affect resources and operational flexibility.

3. I reviewed and approve the enclosed stationing strategy that fully embraces thetenets of Army Transformation. The strategy sets the stage for MACOMs to review theirrespective stationing plans, the next step in the Stationing process, and for BRAC 05 tobegin.

4. With this strategy, our Army's installations of the 21st century will become the powerprojection/support platforms that fully support Army Transformation and the global waron terrorism with high quality, livable communities for our soldiers, civilians, and theirfamilies.
