Regarding BRAC land sales, which statement is correct?

• A. BRAC land sales always yield 50 percent retention
• B. BRAC land cannot be sold
• C. BRAC land may be sold, but the 50 percent local-use retention rule does not necessarily apply
• D. BRAC land sales require congressional approval

Answer: (C)

BRAC land disposal is about how surplus military property is handled after closures and realignments. Land can be sold to support local redevelopment, but the 50 percent local-use retention rule is not automatic in every case. That retention guideline applies in some disposals to preserve land for local use, but it does not apply universally to all BRAC properties. So stating that BRAC land may be sold while the 50 percent local-use retention rule does not necessarily apply captures the real-world flexibility of BRAC disposals. Congressional approval is not a blanket requirement for every BRAC sale, as these transactions are usually managed under DoD disposal authorities and local reuse arrangements.
