Along with FCS lets look at the money being spent to move the ADA School and Brach to Fort Sill, OK. A lot of money is being spent to move to a place were ADA weapons can not be fired, they'll be back at Ft Bliss in 10 years. Its only our Tax dollars!!:(

More Pork,
Just in case you were not aware of this, the ADA school fires exactly zero missiles each year. No part of the ADA school requires live missile launches. The missile firing ranges are operated by the garrison for the use of tenant units and units from off-post who come for annual service practice.
The regular ADA units that have left did so for reasons other than BRAC. Good people can honestly disagree as to the wisdom of moving the school to Sill, but the units, the ones that actually used those firing ranges, had to move to make room for the FCS test unit; which will have priority of training resources over all units and missions except those supporting deployments.
It is; het used to it and stop crying.
