Congressman Jack Kingston (R/GA-1) discusses the economic hardship endured by the people of Hinesville, Georgia and Liberty County which were encouraged by the Army to invest heavily in preparation of a new Brigade Combat Team (BCT) only to have the rug pulled out under them. Congressman Kingston worked succesfully with Armed Services Chairman Ike Skelton to include language in the bill directing the Department of Defense to consider the hard economic impact of recent basic decisions on communities such as Hinesville and to report to Congress on how it intends to direct them.
