The Army is finding new ways to partner with the communities around its bases. Thanks to a 2015 law that lets the military services sign service agreements with local governments without the pain of traditional federal contracts, the Army has now signed dozens of Intergovernmental Service Agreements for everything from snow removal to animal control. The latest of those agreements happened just last month at Fort Stewart Georgia.

Later in the program, we discuss how the Navy is using digital twins and digital threads to change the way it supports its ships. Ashley Holloway, the chief architect for the NAVSEA's Model Based Product Support program joins us for that discussion.
