BRAC Summary: The Army declared the LHAAP excess to its needs in July 1997. From 1998 to 2001, all personal assets and specific installed property and buildings were liquidated and/or demolished. On 21 October 2000, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) approved the establishment of the Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge on LHAAP. In October 2002, LHAAP was transferred from the Army Materiel Command to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Division to be managed as excess property. In April 2004, the Army and USFWS approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that sets forth the LHAAP property transfer process.
