Interesting. Knox is also getting an IBCT (Infantry Brigade Combat Team) as a result of BRAC.

FYI. If Cannoneer No. 4 still has the Stryker ping list please bump with it.

My guess would be the Knox option would entail a swap - Stryker Bde for Knox, light bde in Hawaii. Of course also looming is the proposal to increase the size of the Army and add four brigade combat teams - they will have to go somewhere.

Is Knox still full of those "temporary" barracks built in the early 40's?

Just speaking for myself, I would welcome the move to Alaska - Ft Richardson. We could use the extra folks.
And we have a LOT of room.
Oh, and a lot of cold weather.

the National Environmental Policy Act This is the part I don't get. Do the Strykers leak that much oil that they would contaminate the environment? They have been operating in Alaska, Fairbanks, without any noticeable environmental problem, and 60 below ought to bring any such problems to light if anything will.

Fort Ricardson AK, the Old FT Greely AK, and FT Lewis are all in consideration. Being an Alaskan and with the 172D SBCT (oh that is right, we are now 1-25 SBCT), my money is on Uncle Ted and Co getting it moved to the Old Fort Greely
