WASHINGTON (AP) _ The U.S. Army says it will immediately repair
barracks at eight facilities, including two Army installations in
Georgia, in the wake of inspection at bases worldwide.

The inspections were done the last week of April and covered
nearly 150,000 barracks rooms. They found that 45 repairs needed
priority attention, including new heating and cooling equipment,
repainting, mold removal and other work.

Fort Gordon is slated to receive $49.7 million while Fort
Stewart will get $6.2 million.

The repairs were prompted by a video on YouTube last month which
showed paratroopers living in dilapidated barracks at Fort Bragg in
North Carolina.

Army Secretary Pete Geren said 248 million dollars in emergency
funds has been appropriated to fix problems found during the
inspections.
