Base realignment and closure - brac

"BRAC" is an acronym that stands for Base Realignment and Closure. It is the congressionally authorized process that the Department of Defense uses to reorganize its base structure to more efficiently and effectively support our forces, increase operational readiness and facilitate new ways of doing business. The most recent iteration of base realignment was enacted as federal law in November 2005 and is known as BRAC 2005.

Navmar Applied Sciences has a long history and widespread 'hands-on' experience in the realignment and relocation of DoD bases. A predominate number of our employees are former Military Officers, Civil Service Senior Executives, Senior Civil Service Organizational Line Managers and Program Managers, Scientists, Technologists, BRAC Managers and Contract Specialists. This performance history, a result of our close affinity in both physical location and intellectual connection with government workforces and their missions, provides Navmar with unique insight and understanding of the challenges and hardships involved in a BRAC.

Our personnel fully understand the immense emotional, professional and personal turmoil that the BRAC process causes on the affected workforce, their careers, their families and their communities. However, even with all the turmoil, it is important to remember that the mission effectiveness level of the affected bases must not be degraded throughout the entire BRAC transition! By combining our corporate, government and community backgrounds, we are able to provide understanding, compassion, clarity and organization to an oftentimes complicated and multifaceted traumatic situation.

Navmar staff successfully managed a large BRAC program that consisted of a 2500 member workforce, 230 scientific laboratories, $350M MILCON integration over a 220 mile distance between affected and receiving bases. Since then, we have served as a BRAC advisor to numerous BRAC bases and as a BRAC consultant to relocation contractors. Our staff has been widely recognized for their successful planning, execution and finalization of base realignments and relocations of complex DoD workforces, base assets and functions while maintaining mission productivity throughout the entire process.
