Army Base Realignment and Closure

New Orleans Military Ocean Terminal


BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends New Orleans Military Ocean Terminal for closure. The military value of the installation is lower than other inistallations in the same category, primarily because its facilities and piers cannot meet its mission to process and embark a combat force. Its peacetime mission is the temporary storage of privately owned vehicles and household goods. This mission can be eliminated.

Property Description: New Orleans Military Ocean Terminal (NOMOT), also known as the New Orleans Army Base, was located on the northwest intersection of the Mississippi River and the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal (Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal) within the corporate limits of New Orleans, LA. The land belonged to the City of New Orleans with all improvements belonging to the Army. A Naval Support Activity was located adjacent to NOMOT. At the time of closure, the site comprised 18 acres along with four main buildings and various supporting structures totaling 286,748 SF. The U.S. Maritime Administration and the Board of Commissioners, Port of New Orleans, were tenants in Army facilities.
