Book excerpt: The closing, reduction in scope, or expansion of military installations on domestic soil and overseas, the privatization of government-built military housing, the provision of benefits and medical care to eligible veterans, and the redeployment of military units to the United States from overseas garrisons have drawn congressional attention in recent sessions. The funds to support all of these activities are provided by the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act debated annually in both chambers. In deliberating the appropriation bill for FY2011, the 111th Congress will also likely face a wide array of concerns ranging from the transition of armed service personnel from military to veteran care, the cleanup of former military property, the lease of defense property for private development, and providing relief for military families forced to sell their homes in a depressed market, to providing incremental funding for major construction projects.
