U.S. Installation Realignment In Italy Announced

The Department of Defense announced today the decision to inactivate and
partially return the Monte Orlando Compound, Gaeta, Italy. The pier side of the

This inactivation will affect 140 military, five U.S. civilians, 23 local
national employees, and 100 U.S. family members. The Navy will begin the process
of returning the site affected by this decision to the host nation. Current
annual operating costs for these sites are approximately $13.6 million

return the compound to the host nation in 2009.

As with all stationing actions, the United States has coordinated with host
