A military golf course, hotel and skeet range are among the 21 facilities that will be given up across Europe in connection with a Pentagon review aimed at shedding excess infrastructure on the Continent, the Pentagon announced Friday. Every major installation in Europe, however, survived the cuts.
The Defense Department emphasized that none of the closures will affect the size of the force in Europe, which now stands at just under 70,000 troops.
The cuts to unneeded facilities will allow U.S. European command to focus resources on higher-priority missions, Rear Adm. John Kirby, Pentagon press secretary said Friday.
It doesnt at all change our military capability on the continent or degrade in any way our readiness to meet our security commitments there in Europe, he told reporters at the Pentagon.
For more than a year, the Defense Department has been conducting what has been characterized as a BRAC-like review of infrastructure in Europe. The review, dubbed the European Infrastructure Consolidation, resulted in widespread speculation among personnel at many bases in Europe that their installation could be on the chopping block.
Instead of cutting major installations, a series of non-operational sites, including outdated and excess family housing facilities, recreation sites and storage depots, were selected for closure.
In all, DOD said the moves will save $60 million annually. Facilities were affected across a wide swath of the EUCOM area of operation, stretching from Germany and Spain to Italy, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Greece.
The department continues looking for unneeded infrastructure to shutter, Kirby said.
Its an ongoing process and it will continue, he said. This is sort of the first tranche of what I suspect will be other changes to come.
The decision comes as security challenges in Europe have returned to the forefront.

US sheds 21 excess facilities in Europe
TACOMA U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle on Thursday ordered Longview businessman Ray Caldwell to pay $636,500 in restitution for multiple violations of the Clean Water Act, well short of the amount federal prosecutors had requested from the owner of All-Out Sewer and Drain.
The money will go to three entities defrauded by All-Out between 2003 and 2012:
Hopefully this will be a lesson to people in the community who may take the water quality issues lightly, Cowlitz County Commissioner Michael Karnofski said upon hearing of the restitution.
The federal government had sought about 900,000 in restitution, which was whittled down in a closed-door conference during a recess in the hearing.
In April, Caldwell was sentenced to 27 months in prison and fined $250,000 after being found guilty on 33 felony counts related to years of illegally emptying his septic tank pumper trucks into the Longview sewer system in violation of the federal Clean Water Act.
He is out of prison while he appeals his sentence. No court date has been set for his appeal.
Minimum monthly payments of $5,000 will be made by All-Out, which is being run under probation by Caldwells wife, Joanne. Payment in full is expected by the time Caldwell finishes his prison term and supervised release, a total of about six years.
Caldwell is contributing $250,000 from a recently cashed-out retirement account and the check is in the mail, his attorney Wayne Fricke told the court. That payment will be allocated by the court clerk, and Fricke said it will likely all go to restitution.
Judge Settle said he expected the probation office to keep an eye out for timely payments and that more than $5,000 per month should be coming in from the business. Prosecutors had asked for Caldwell to make payments as well, but Settle said it wouldnt be necessary to meet the deadline since a large, initial payment would be coming in right away.
Fricke said it is unlikely Caldwell will appeal the restitution judgment, which will include about $51,000 in pre-judgment interest and post-judgment interest in an amount tied to the Treasury Bill rate.

Judge orders All-Out Sewer owner to pay $636,500 in restitution
Update: The Chesapeake restaurant is scheduled to reopen in a few weeks, according to owner Ernst Valery. On Wednesday a sign was posted saying the restaurant was temporarily closed but that it was still booking private events.
Valery said the temporary closing is to facilitate ongoing construction to the buildings second floor, which will be used for apartments, offices and a banquet hall. The construction, particularly the installation of new plumbing, was having an impact on the back area of the first floor, he said When the Chesapeake does reopen, it will be operated by a restaurant-management company.
Valery said that the break in construction is giving the management company, which he declined to identify, a chance to get its bearings.
The Chesapeake opened last June on the corner of Charles and Lafayette Streets in the same space where a Baltimore dining institution, the Chesapeake Restaurant, flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. The restaurant is owned by Ernst Valery and his wife Dana Valery, who also own Milk & Honey Market in Mount Vernon.
The new management company, he said, has its roots in Baltimore and will help create a more local focus for the restaurant. The Valerys Philadelphia-based partners, Maduro Daggle and Anne Baum-Stein, he said, did not play an active role in the restaurants operations.
I think everyone going to be very happy with the new management direction, Valery said.
The Chesapeake was closed for business on Wednesday night, and its re-opening date is unclear.
A sign posted on the restaurant's front door said, "The Chesapeake will be closed temporarily while construction proceeds. Special events are still being booked."
A similar message on the restaurant's website says: "We are currently closed for upstairs renovations, but are available for private events."
The sign provided the names of two contacts. One, Paul Daugherty, did not immediately return a call for comment. The voice mail of the other contact, Lamonte King, was full and not receiving messages.
TAMPA Beer knowledge pours out of Tim Shackton like strong German doppelbock from a tap.
During a recent tour of the new brewhouse at the upcoming Ulele restaurant at the former Tampa Water Works building, Shackton spelled out the process of making beer in minute detail.
For almost 90 minutes, he walked me through his glimmering 15-barrel stainless steel brewing system, from the grist mill used for releasing starches from the malted barley to the refrigerated service tanks where the finished beer will flow to the restaurants bar, beer garden and kegs.
The restaurant is in the final stages of construction along the Hillsborough River after more than two years of planning by restaurateur Richard Gonzmart and the Columbia Restaurant Group.
Shackton, who formerly worked as a brewmaster for the Hops restaurant chain, was hired more than a year ago to create craft beers for Ulele as well as for the seven Columbia restaurants.
The beers he plans to make are enough to make you thirsty for a cold one.
Shackton says he will start with a handful of core beers on the menu. The list includes a light cream ale, a honey lager, Rustys Red American amber red, a mixed berry fruit Wedding beer, a Water Works pale ale and a seasonal beer that will swap out every three or four months. That might include a Belgian wit beer or hefeweizen during summer, a doppelbock in late spring and an Oktoberfest brew in September and October.
Uleles brewery, which is housed in the former water works pump room which in recent years was used as a city of Tampa TV studio, got its license to operate two weeks ago. The room might have been finished sooner, but construction workers discovered an elaborate network of old pipes and a water cistern that had to be excavated. Some of those pipes were saved to be used as table bases.
For more than a year, Shackton has been busy making homebrew versions of the beers, collaborating with executive chef Eric Lackey on menu pairings and giving tastings of his experiments.
Ive not seen a woman who has sipped that fruit beer who didnt finish it, Ulele managing partner Keith Sedita said. Even women who say they dont like beer love drinking that beer.
