U.S. Army Enterprise Strategic Capital Partnership

Executive Summary: Strategic Partnerships to Mobilize Private Capital for Army Priorities The U.S. Army cannot rely solely on annual congressional appropriations to solve its critical modernization requirements. We must unlock the overwhelming advantage resident in American industry and capital markets by deploying private-sector financing and expertise against the Army’s longstanding challenges and projects critical to Army priorities, including: (1) Energy Resilience and Dominance; (2) Organic Industrial Base; (3) Strengthening Logistics and Supply Chains; (4) Real Assets and Facilities Utilization; (5) Advanced Manufacturing & Technology Adoption; and (6) Critical Minerals and Resource Development. Therefore, the Army invites leaders from the finance, technology, and industrial sectors to co-create a new public-private partnership frontier centered around capital markets to unlock the full potential of the Army’s vast enterprise. We expect that the most compelling responses will present a clear path to a diversified customer base across commercial and government markets and in which the Army could potentially act as a stable, long-term partner or anchor customer to de-risk the initial investment and help to scale the enterprise. Responses should be commercially viable and self-sustaining and not reliant on the Army (i.e., appropriated funds) as the sole source of return on investment. This Request for Information (RFI) is a call for strategic and actionable input. We are soliciting specific insights and options centered around financial structures and partnership models that are commercially sustainable and able to accelerate the Army’s modernization and transformation. Specifically, we want to better understand: Operating models amenable to co-investment by the Army and the private market actors. Public-private partnership responses to create structures and solutions for long-term self-viability and success. Contracts, agreements, and lease structures optimized for dual-use assets and infrastructure.
