This report presents the assumptions and calculations used in the COBRA model. That model was used by the Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignments and Closures to evaluate the economic feasibility of alternative scenarios. The model considers one-time and recurring costs in determining the payback period for each scenario. The model has been updated to include enhanced features and to address definitional issues at the request of the General Accounting Office. LMI recommends that this model be used as a reference point in future DoD or Service estimates of realignment and closure costs. Base Closing; Overhead; Transfer; PCS; BOS; RPMA.
