The Army seeks to improve the quality of life for Soldiers and their Families through the use of private sector resources, market-based incentives, and government resources to support the government-owned and leased inventory. The Army Housing RCI is an innovative program developed and managed under the oversight and direction of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of The Army (Installations, Energy, and Environment) (OASA (IE&E)) on behalf of the Secretary of The Army.
