Fort Dix


BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends the realignment of Fort Dix to semi-active status and relocation of entry level training functions (Basic Training (BT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT)) from Fort Dix to other Army training base installations. This decision will consolidate similar training accomplished at various locations and will increase the availability of training areas at Fort Dix to support active and reserve training. This category has excess capacity allowing these consolidations.

Property Description: Fort Dix is a former United States Army post located in Wrightstown, NJ, approximately 16 miles southeast of Trenton. Prior to the 1995 BRAC round, Fort Dix comprised approximately 31,000 acres. Under BRAC 1995, the Army excessed 278 acres and retained the remainder as an enclave. As a result of BRAC 2005, the retained portion of Fort Dix is now part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The Army portion is currently under the command and control of the United States Army Reserve Command (USARC).
