BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF
CIVIL-MILITARY PROGRAMS
6 June 2017
BACKGROUND OF CIVIL-MILITARY PROGRAMS § In the 1992 Presidential Campaign - candidate Bill Clinton challenged Americans with his "Rebuild America"
initiative. As President, he challenged the DoD to search for innovative programs, which would serve American communities in need and provide realistic military training benefits.
§ Also in 1992, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) echoed the President by directing DoD's increased involvement to help meet domestic needs.
§ In June 1993, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs established the directorate for Civil-Military Programs. The energy behind this initiative came from President Clinton's call to "Rebuild America" and the NDAA of 1993.

COMMUNITY APPLICATION TIPS
6 June 2017
Applications most appealing to the Services: • Aligned with military mission essential tasks • Submitted in Sep for planning/budgeting cycles • Complete application • Low risk for schedule change (clear property ownership, National
Environmental Policy Act compliance documentation complete, etc.) • Involve flexible scope and complexity (multiple skill sets working together,
logistics challenges of remote locations, etc.) • Create opportunities for joint, total force, and interagency teams to train
together • Create opportunities to integrate with community personnel and resources
(as we would do with our allies or hosts during deployments or during a domestic disaster response)
Community projects are neither prioritized nor selected by urgency or merit. OASD(M&RA) determines organization eligibility & advertises opportunities. Services select projects based on military training requirements.
