US DoD Requests Proposals for AI Data Centers at Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, Fort Bliss, and Dugway Proving Ground
The US Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a request for proposals for private AI data center developments on land at Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, Fort Bliss, and Dugway Proving Ground. Fort Hood has 207 acres available for lease, featuring existing transmission lines and nearby natural gas pipelines, with a high water risk.
Fort Bragg offers a total of 734 acres across multiple sites, with similar transmission services and high water risk. Fort Bliss, the second-largest US Army installation, has one parcel of 1,384 acres available, serviced by El Paso Electric, with extremely high water risk.
Dugway Proving Ground in Utah has three parcels totaling 3,466 acres, previously used for grazing, with low to medium water risk. Proposals for these sites are due by January 22, 2025, as part of efforts to open federal land for data center projects.
