Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense currently follows rules about how much total building space it maintains across all military bases. This amendment would allow certain military installations to be excused from those space-reduction requirements, giving those specific bases more flexibility in keeping or expanding their facilities. This would primarily affect military personnel, base operations, and how the Pentagon manages its real estate footprint.
