“The Base Structure Report (BSR) – FY 2013 Baseline is a snapshot of real property data collected as of September 30, 2012, and serves as the baseline for the start of the next fiscal year. This report has become a very popular item for many diverse users and we have tried to adjust the data displays to reflect the most common information regularly requested from DoD. The data presented here is a consolidated summary of the Military Departments’ native real property inventory (RPI) data submitted annually in accordance with DoD Instruction 4165.14, “Real Property Inventory and Forecasting”, to support the requirements of title 10, U.S. Code, section 2721, “Real Property Records.” This consolidated database, known as the Real Property Assets Database (RPAD), is the source used for many DoD RPI reporting requirements throughout the year. As one of the Federal government’s larger holders of real estate, the DoD manages a global real property portfolio that consists of more than 557,000 facilities (buildings, structures, and linear structures), located on over 5,000 sites worldwide and covering over 27.7 million acres. While the BSR is not intended to answer every single question about DoD’s real portfolio, it should provide most readers with accurate background information about the vast majority of issues regarding DoD’s real property infrastructure.”
