From the Billings Gazette: "Five northern-tier Air Force bases, a legacy of the Cold War along with the towns around them, have survived the latest federal base closing round by focusing on wide-open spaces and futuristic missions.
"The bases that were the heart of the nation's nuclear structure in the middle of the 20th Century - F.E. Warren in Wyoming, Malmstrom in Montana, Ellsworth in South Dakota and Minot and Grand Forks in North Dakota - appear to have made it through their fourth base closing round since the Cold War."
The final and approved recommendations and the report to the President are available on the BRAC Commission website.
