Summary:A dynamic model of a military base‐local community system is presented in this paper. It relates to decision making in living systems at the organization level. The model is designed for use in assessing policy for military installation closures and realignments. The model is of a typical base‐community economic system. It is used to illustrate the interdependence of national and local concerns and the link between national policy and community well‐being. It focuses upon population, community business activity, and labor force movement.
