Which statement about BRAC land sales is accurate?

• A. BRAC cannot be sold
• B. BRAC can be sold and the 50 percent retention always applies
• C. BRAC can be sold
• D. BRAC land sale requires no regulatory oversight

Answer: (C)

BRAC land disposal includes selling excess property that is no longer needed for defense purposes. Because BRAC rounds identify properties that are surplus to current and future missions, selling those parcels is a legitimate option to recoup value and fund BRAC-related activities. The fact that BRAC land can be sold makes sense given the goal of disposing of unneeded assets, while still keeping the process accountable through formal reviews, appraisals, and approvals. The idea that sale is not allowed is incorrect, and the notion that a 50 percent retention applies in all cases is too absolute—whether any retention applies depends on the specific BRAC plan and statutory requirements, not a universal rule. Additionally, sales are subject to regulatory oversight; it is not a de facto no-regulatory scenario.
