Operational Contract Support (OCS) provides a pivotal role in both extending the military’s operational reach and ensuring force readiness. It delivers essential services such as logistics, supply chain management, and infrastructure support, which are key in sustaining military operations and in scenarios where organic resources are depleted or unavailable. OCS strengthens partnerships with communities and countries through the strategic deployment of operational dollars, which is especially impactful after natural disasters by showing direct support to local economies.
