Not later than March 31, 2015, the Secretary of the Army shall perform a business case analysis to consider the merits of seeking, for use as military maneuver space, the reversion of former Camp Gruber, Oklahoma, which— consists of approximately 31,283.66 acres; and was conveyed to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife in 1948 subject to a reversionary clause that gives the United States the right to reacquire the land if needed for national defense purposes. If, as a result of the business case analysis required by subsection (a), the Secretary of the Army determines that reacquisition of former Camp Gruber is needed for national defense purposes, the Secretary shall exercise the reversionary right and request the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife to reconvey Camp Gruber to the United States.
If Camp Gruber is reacquired by the United States under subsection (b), the Secretary of the Army shall convey, without consideration, all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to Camp Gruber to the Oklahoma Military Department for the purpose of permitting the Oklahoma Military Department to use Camp Gruber as military maneuver space.
