Montgomery, AL – A member of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission will visit Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery Thursday. Military and business leaders will get the opportunity to discuss the Pentagon's recommendation to realign the base. That would move the Headquarters Operations and Sustainment Systems Group to an Air Force Base near Boston. That would cost more than 12-hundred jobs. BRAC commissioners are traveling this week to bases that were recommended for realignment or shutdown. The commission also has scheduled a regional hearing for June 30th in Atlanta. Alabama residents will be able to discuss the proposal then.
