Is Fort Hamilton on the chopping block?
Pentagon eyes base closures in 2017
The U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton could be targeted for closure if budget cuts outlined on Monday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel become a reality.
Hagel, who is proposing cuts that would slash military spending by billions of dollars to pre-World War II levels, stated that he will push congress to conduct a round of base closures in 2017, NBC News reported.
Fort Hamilton, which has survived previous base closure proceedings, could be in real danger this time, advocates said.
