Project Concise

<p>Project Concise was a <a href="/facts/United_States_Army/WACWBEK9">United States Army</a> program <a href="/facts/Base_Realignment_and_Closure/4nWLJFg7">to close military installations</a> after the <a href="/facts/Vietnam_War/W0gfbGTE">Vietnam War</a>. The closures included <a href="/facts/Nike_missile/hmaWJ7Jb">Nike missile</a> <a href="/facts/List_of_Nike_missile_locations/Bfu0f3qo">launch sites</a> and command posts including <a href="/facts/Highlands_Army_Air_Defense_Site/dj6f9rQq">Highlands Army Air Defense Site</a>, <a href="/facts/Fort_Lawton/S1G6Bqcp">Fort Lawton</a>, <a href="/facts/Fort_MacArthur/zC5zI2xD">Fort MacArthur</a>, <a href="/facts/Fort_Hancock%2c_New_Jersey/ghPHGSgl">Fort Hancock</a>, Charleston Army Depot, <a href="/facts/Fort_Wolters/YRyMpoor">Fort Wolters</a>, and <a href="/facts/Valley_Forge_General_Hospital/SQBqcyu9">Valley Forge General Hospital</a>. Additionally, <a href="/facts/Hunter_Army_Airfield/Sx0zkX0K">Hunter Army Airfield</a> was reactivated in order to accommodate the expected increase in traffic at <a href="/facts/Fort_Stewart/K7UQ7ylq">Fort Stewart</a> and Fort Hunter.
</p><p>The project commenced with a May 1972-autumn 1973 study that identified numerous posts which were instead retained (e.g., <a href="/facts/Fort_McClellan/rNEfXmTH">Fort McClellan</a>, instead closed in 1999), and the closures were announced on November 22, 1974. A follow-up program of realignments was announced in 1976.
