Army Kwajalein Atoll Installation Services

Abstract

The U.S. Army Kwajalein (USAKA) located in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is a remote, secure activity of the Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB). Its function is to support test and evaluation of major Army and DoD acquisition programs and to provide space operations (surveillance and object identification) in support of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientific and space programs. USAKA is a government-managed/contractor-operated (GMCO) site and is dependent upon its associated support contractors for operations and maintenance (O&M). Program funds contractors to accomplish O&M for installation/base operations other Installation Services Support (ISS). Funding is required to maintain O&M support, while accepting moderate risk of continued degradation of USAKA infrastructure (housing, offices, and facilities), higher future repair costs, and reduced logistical support capability. Other ISS consists of: Medical services, education services, food /grocery services and logistical requirements needed to support Installation Operations and Management and ensure the continued T&E and space operations of the Regan Test Site as a Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) activity.
