This exercise presents a joint-service discussion framework designed to optimize Department of Defense contracting capabilities in support of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) posture and battlefield setting operations. The exercise integrates the strengths and unique roles of NAVFAC Pacific Multiple Award Construction Contracts (MACCs), the Navy’s Global Contingency Services Contract (GCSC), the Army’s Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP), and the Air Force’s Contract Augmentation Program (AFCAP). Through a realistic Indo-Pacific scenario, participants will confront challenges such as rapid infrastructure development, forward positioning, contested logistics, and multi-domain threats, while coordinating and deconflicting contractor support across service lines. The framework emphasizes interoperability, resilience, and mission assurance, drawing on historical lessons and current doctrine to avoid adverse contractor competition while enhancing contractor integration, deconfliction, and operational effectiveness in remote and complex environments. The exercise will conclude with actionable recommendations for improving joint military/construction contractor planning, risk mitigation, and continuity of operations.

Learning Objectives 

• Evaluate the complementary capabilities and limitations of NAVFAC PAC MACCs, GCSC, LOGCAP, and AFCAP in support of USINDOPACOM operational requirements.
• Demonstrate effective joint planning and integration of service-specific contracting vehicles during force posture and battlefield setting operations.
• Identify and address risks to contractor operations, overlaps, and potential adverse contractor competition.
• Apply best practices and lessons learned to enhance resilience, interoperability, and mission assurance through construction contractor support.
