Fort Monmouth New Jersey
Fort Monmouth was selected for closure in 2005 and by 2011 most of the Army personnel are required to moved to bases and installations in Maryland or Ohio. The base gained permanent status in 1925 and was named in honor of the soldiers who died in the Battle of Monmouth during the American Revolution.
Julius Rosenberg had worked on base during WWII and was convicted of stealing plans and passing them to the Soviet Union.
The soon nearing closure of the base is estimated by the DoD to cause the loss of about 10,000 jobs, but it will saved $1 billion. There have been challenges to these figures as other independent investigations have found the savings to be only $31 million.
