To implement the recommendations, ANG must relocate hundreds of aircraft and retrain or recruit about 15,000 personnel by 2011. In this report, GAO addresses the status of efforts to implement the ANG BRAC actions. GAO's objectives were to determine (1) the process to provide replacement missions to units losing flying missions, (2) the progress and challenges in implementing the BRAC actions, and (3) changes to the cost and savings estimates. This report, prepared under the Comptroller General's authority to conduct evaluations on his own initiative, is one in a series of reports related to 2005 BRAC recommendations. GAO conducted its work at the Air Force, ANG headquarters, and in 11 states affected by BRAC 2005 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-641/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-641.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-641/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-641.pdf GAO-07-641 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-641 Other Written Product GAO-07-641; Military Base Closures: Management Strategy Needed to Mitigate Challenges and Improve Communication to Help Ensure Timely Implementation of Air National Guard Recommendations; Aircraft Base closures Base realignments Cost analysis Military bases Military forces National Guard Program evaluation Strategic planning Program implementation A-10 Aircraft Advanced Technology Bomber B-2 Aircraft C-130 Aircraft C-5 Aircraft DOD Base Realignment and Closure Program F-15 Aircraft F-16 Aircraft F-22 Aircraft Fighting Falcon Aircraft Hercules Aircraft KC-135 Aircraft Strike Eagle Aircraft Thunderbolt Aircraft Public Law 101-510 Public Law 107-107 Public Law 110-05
