operated a rest and relaxation facility in Mackay, Queensland,
Australia, for troops serving in the Pacific Theater during
World War II.
(2) On June 14, 1943, a Boeing B-17C was transporting 6
crew members and 35 servicemen from Mackay to Port Moresby, New
Guinea, to return the servicemen to duty after 10 days of rest
and relaxation leave at an Army/Red Cross facility.
(3) The aircraft crashed shortly after take-off at Bakers
Creek, Australia, killing all 6 crew members and 34 of the 35
servicemen being transported in what was at that point the
worst crash in American air transport history, and what remains
the worst air disaster in Australian history.
(4) Due to wartime censorship rules related to the movement
of troops, the tragic crash and loss of life were not reported
to the Australian or United States public.
(5) Many family members of those killed did not learn the
circumstances of the troops deaths until they were contacted by
the Bakers Creek Memorial Foundation beginning in 1992.
(6) As of May 2005, the Bakers Creek Memorial Foundation
had contacted 36 of the 40 families that lost loved ones in the
tragic crash, and was continuing efforts to locate the
remaining four families to inform them of the true events of
the crash at Bakers Creek.

Creek with a memorial established in 1992, but no similar
memorial has been established in the United States.

Secretary of the Army may establish an appropriate marker, at a site to

members of the United States Armed Forces who lost their lives in the
air crash at Bakers Creek, Australia, on June 14, 1943.

Structure of the United States, also known as the Overseas
Basing Commission, transmitted a report to the President and
Congress on August 15, 2005, that discussed considerations for
the return to the United States of up to 70,000 service
personnel and 100,000 family members and civilian employees
from overseas garrisons.
(2) The 2005 Base Closure and Realignment Commission
released a report on September 8, 2005, to the President that
assessed the closure and realignment decisions of the
Department of Defense, which would affect 26,830 military
personnel positions.
(3) Both of these reports expressed concerns that massive
movements of units, service personnel, and families may disrupt
unit operational effectiveness and the quality of life for
family members if not carried out with adequate planning and
resources.
(4) The 2005 Base Closure and Realignment Commission, in
its decision to close Fort Monmouth, included a provision
requiring the Secretary of Defense to provide a report that
``movement of organizations, functions, or activities from Fort
Monmouth to Aberdeen Proving Ground will be accomplished
without disruption of their support to the Global War on
Terrorism or other critical contingency operations, and that
safeguards exist to ensure that necessary redundant
capabilities are put in place to mitigate potential degradation
of such support, and to ensure maximum retention of critical
workforce''.
(5) The Overseas Basing Commission found that ``base
closings at home along with the return of yet additional masses
of service members and dependents from overseas will have major
impact on local communities and the quality of life that can be
expected. Movements abroad from established bases into new
locations, or into locations already in use that will be put
under pressure by increases in populations, will impact on
living conditions.''
(6) The Overseas Basing Commission notes that the four most
critical elements of quality of life as they relate to
restructuring of the global defense posture are housing,
military child education, healthcare, and service member and
family services.
(7) The Overseas Basing Commission recommended that
``planners must take a `last day-first day' approach to the
movement of units and families from one location to another'',
meaning that they must maintain the support infrastructure for
personnel until the last day they are in place and must have
the support infrastructure in place on the first day troops
arrive in the new location.
(8) The Overseas Basing Commission further recommended that
it is ``imperative that the `last day-first day' approach
should be taken whether the movement is abroad from one locale
to another, from overseas to the United States, or from one
base in CONUS [the continental United States] to yet another as
a result of base realignment and closures''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of Defense should not transfer any unit from a military
installation closed or realigned due to the relocation of forces under
the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy or the 2005 round of
defense base closure and realignment until adequate facilities and
infrastructure necessary to support the unit's mission and quality of
life requirements for military families are ready for use at the
receiving location.
