Fort Bliss - El Paso, Texas

[images in the news - military]

The New York Times did a nice piece today about the anticipated growth of Fort Bliss in Texas as a result of Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) recommendations. While most media attention has focused on the anticipated economic impacts of base closures, in this case, BRAC recommendations would add 11,354 service personnel to the 18.000 that already call Bliss home. Fort Bliss, on the northern end of El Paso, is larger than the state of Rhode Island. El Paso International Airport is immediately to the east, noted by its darker tarmacs and runways.
