  Commission Recommendation Conveyance Report

BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends realignment of Fort Devens in order to consolidate the split Intelligence School training function and the Information Systems Command (ISC). Consolidation of the school and the command will improve the mission effectiveness and efficiency of both functions. The Intelligence School, currently located at Fort Devens, will relocate to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to consolidate with the Intelligence School training operations at Fort Huachuca. Fort Huachuca is the more suitable location for conduct of the school curriculum. The Headquarters, ISC will relocate from Fort Huachuca to Fort Devens to consolidate the command in one location which is well suited for a national result in minor environmental impacts. Other ISC activities from Fort Belvoir, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, and Fort McPherson, Georgia will also relocate to Fort Devens.

Property Description: Fort Devens is located 35 miles northwest of Boston, in north-central Massachusetts within the towns of Ayer and Shirley in Middlesex County, and the towns of Harvard and Lancaster in Worcester County.
