OUR PROGRAMS

The U.S. Department of Defense Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation’s programs of assistance are designed to specifically address the challenges states and communities face as they support the defense mission. There are currently seven programs of assistance: 

Construction

The Construction program enables states and communities to undertake necessary investments in public services and infrastructure to support the readiness and resiliency of installations, as well as to provide safe places for services members and their families to live, work, and play.

Mission Realignment

The Mission Realignment program of assistance enables state and local governments to anticipate and respond to reductions or growth due to changes in DoD force structure.

Diversification & Modernization

The Diversification & Modernization program assists communities as they respond to defense changes, specifically a cancelled contract or the failure to proceed with a previously approved weapons system.  In some cases, a reduction in defense spending that impacts the defense manufacturing base can also trigger assistance provided under this program.  

Installation Resilience

The Installation Resilience program of assistance is designed to provide technical and financial assistance to states and local governments to analyze and implement actions necessary to foster, protect, and enhance installation resilience. 

Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot Program

The Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot (DCIP) Program is designed to address deficiencies in community infrastructure, supportive of a military installation, in order to enhance military value, installation resilience, and military family quality of life.

Defense Manufacturing Community Support

Defense Manufacturing Community Support (DMCSP) is designed to support long-term community investments that strengthen national security innovation and expand the capabilities of the defense manufacturing industrial ecosystem.

Intergovernmental and Stakeholder Engagement

The Intergovernmental and Stakeholder Engagement office leverages, integrates, and amplifies the goals and activities of all program activities to ensure defense priorities benefit from the synergy created by a diverse and crosscutting set of stakeholders.

Public Schools on Military Installations

Public Schools on Military Installations program activities are designed to ensure that the children of service members are taught in environments that are safe, secure, conducive to learning, and are aligned with the local standard for other schools within that region.
