"...Cannon Stays Alive;" Will Be Open 5 More Years in Much-Reduced Form
BRAC accepted the Pentagon's recommendation to move Cannon Air Force Base's three F-16 fighter squadrons elsewhere. It stopped short of closing the base.
It voted 6-1, with two abstentions, to put the base in a backup status and tasked the Pentagon to find new missions for the base.
If a new mission is defined by Dec. 31, 2009, Cannon can be designated an active base again; if not, the Department of Defense can close it.
