I was at Bitburg when the closure announcement was made. Within two to three weeks....the exit plan was laid out.
Various issues (like your assignment process, handling of vehicles/assets, etc) took several months to settle.
But I'd say that people were already exiting the base six months after the announcement. At the 12th month....probably 50-percent of the base was 'closed'.
By the 18th month...it was mostly done.
So when this Presidential order comes....with the end-game plan laid out....you can expect 'closure' by the end of 2027.
The beginning-point for local German authorities? Well...what to do with the turned-in property? I would expect all of 2027 to be a debate-period....finding new purposes for the property.
There's a lot of harsh realities around this....there's a property in eastern Wiesbaden....which is in it's 6th year of debate.....with locals in disagreement with the city planners over re-use.
