“Today is really special, the relationship with National Guard goes back to 1961 and they have gone the extra mile to get this building in great condition for this transfer of ownership.”-Kenneth Manuel, Mayor of Woodland

At the end of February the North Carolina Army National Guard quietly off-loaded one of its Armories onto the city taxpayers of Woodland.  It’s part of an operation called Installation Strategic Action Plan/Readiness Center Transformation Master Plan (RCTMP).

Ostensibly North Carolina is trying to save state taxpayers money by consolidating its Army National Guard Armories into larger state-run military bases.   According to military sources it’s really about dealing with North Carolina’s changing population demographics and the acquisition of the latest Army technologies: “The RCTMP is a consolidation effort to better serve the state and meet the needs of a modernized force.”-Lieutenant Colonel Rodney Newton

Interestingly, in reference to demographic changes, in 2017 Lieutenant Colonel Rodney Newton blamed the influx of females into the National Guard for the push to abandon old Armories: “We didn’t have very many females in the military back then, they didn’t really influx until the late 70s, so you lack female restrooms.” 

The RCMTPs being built in Morganton and McLeansville are costing state taxpayers at least $70-million USD.  Many other states are attempting their own RCMTPs, but apparently are not able to raise the local taxpayer funds to do so.
