How will BRAC affect you? Follow the money. The most interesting trail is provided by contractors, for example, GMH Communities Trust is a publicly-traded Maryland real estate investment trust (REIT). Today almost every on base service from garbage pickup to weapons repair including housing, police protection - but oddly not yet fire proctection - and a host of other services that until about 1980 were provided by civilian employees and military personnel are now provided by contractors. And, from GMH's press releases there seems to be enough money to keep the investors interested.
