Bases overseas should face regular yearly review instead of one-time closure lists.

Evidence

Beyond a onetime list of base closures, the Pentagon and Congress should create a regular review process to assess the need to maintain every base site overseas. The Pentagon should internally scrutinize every site on at least a yearly basis, and Congress should provide a second layer of scrutiny and oversight. Congress could also create incentives for the military to identify and carry out base closures abroad by ensuring that a proportion of these cuts would remain in each service’s budget rather than being ceded completely. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 1074
