To renovate and modernize just a portion of the more than half a million structures the Army owns and operates would cost $34 billion. Clearing the maintenance backlog alone will require $19 billion.

A significant chunk of the work is needed at facilities on Fort Bragg, North Carolina and at U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii, according to the recently released, Congressional Budget Office report, “The Army’s Costs to Eliminate Its Deferred Maintenance Backlog and to Renovate and Modernize its Buildings.”

An estimated 21%, or $11.2 billion of the $54 billion total costs for all deferred maintenance, renovation and modernization of Army facilities is needed for Fort Bragg and Hawaii installations alone.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
