The 1995 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission approved the closure of Fort McClellan and the relocation of the U.S. Army Military Police School and U.S. Army Chemical School to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. This announcement resulted in the preparation of numerous documents that identified the environmental condition, the future land uses, and the required environmental clean up of the Fort McClellan properties prior to transfer to the public domain. These initial documents served as the basis for future environmental investigations.

Community involvement is important throughout the entire BRAC closure process and Fort McClellan is committed to providing information which outlines the Army's progress toward transfer of property to the community. Citizens of local communities are encouraged to become involved in the decision-making processes associated with ongoing environmental activities by attending public meetings and reviewing available information. Additional methods used to sustain two-way communication between the Army and the local communities include newsletters, fact sheets, public notices, and specific boards and committees.
