### Project DW8 — Army Kwajalein Atoll Installation Services

This Project resources Base Operations / Installation Services Support for United States (U.S.) Army Kwajalein (USAKA) Garrison located in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, a remote, secure activity designated as a Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB). Base Operations / Installation Services Support resourcing is a critical enabler to ensure continuity of operations supporting Test and Evaluation and Space Operations of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Test Site in its role as an MRTFB Activity. Kwajalein is a government-managed / contractor-operated (GOCO) site and is primarily dependent upon its associated support contracts for the daily operations and maintenance of Base Operations / Installation Services Support. Installation Services Support consists of: Utility Services; logistical (fuel/transportation) operations support requirements; Medical/Dental Services; Education (K-12) Services; Food/Grocery Services; Contracted Security Guards; and Aviation/Marine support. Transfers funding from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation to Operation and Maintenance, Army SAG 131, Base Operations Support and SAG 132, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization for installation services and infrastructure support for the U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll.

### Project DW7 — Army Kwajalein Atoll Facilities Sustainment

This Project provides resources for preventive maintenance and repair necessary to sustain 1,477 facilities on Kwajalein, Roi-Namur, and nine other leased islands, totaling 2.6 million square feet. Funds are focused toward keeping facilities in good working order in accordance with industry standards. This includes emergency response and service calls, minor repair and major repair or replacement resulting from Kwajalein's particularly harsh climate, including strong winds, saltwater corrosion, and sustained torrential rainfall. Funds also provide manpower necessary to achieve, evaluate, and sustain compliance with appropriate Federal, State, and local environmental laws, Executive Orders, Department of War (DoW) Directives, regulations, and overseas country-specific Final Governing Standards. In FY 2027, funding transferred from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation and moved to Operation and Maintenance, Army SAG 131 (Base Operations Support) and SAG 132 (Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization) for installation services and infrastructure to support the U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll.

### Project DW9 — Army Kwajalein Atoll Restoration And Modernization

This Project funds the restoration and modernization of United States (U.S.) Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA) degraded infrastructure (Real Property/facilities) to working condition and upgrades facilities to meet current standards. Restoration consists of repair and replacement work to fix facilities degraded due to the effects of aging and previously deferred sustainment. Modernization supports upgrade of facilities to meet current codes, accommodate new functions, and/or replace building components that exceed the overall service life of the facilities. Transfers funding from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation to Operation and Maintenance, Army SAG 131, Base Operations Support and SAG 132, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization for installation services and infrastructure support for the U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This Program Element (PE) is unique within the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) portfolio because it funds base operation so that the RTR and other mission partner can do the full spectrum of test, evaluation, space surveillance, and mission support activities at U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll (USAG KA). The PE directly supports operations across 11 leased islands equipped with radars, telemetry systems, and optical instrumentation that enable continuous New Foreign Launch surveillance, space surveillance, space object identification, and offensive and defensive strategic missile and interceptor testing.
