Background

The Department of Defense (DOD) Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment (OASD(S)) addresses the current challenges to the long term sustainability of military test, training and operations. To be able to train military forces and test equipment and munitions, the military requires not only hard infrastructure, such as runways, hangars, roads, targets and all of the associated support equipment; it also draws on air, land, water and electronic spectrum resources. The military’s ability to perform its basic functions of test and training is increasingly constrained due to competition for these resources with commercial businesses, nearby communities and renewable energy projects. The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Infrastructure (ODASD(INF)) supports targeted education and outreach to key stakeholder groups. This contract will focus on providing support for education and engagement to leadership in states with Department of Defense installations.
