In the interest of promulgating no-cost, interdisciplinary, online training for the defense acquisition workforce, wanted to let the community know that our DAU Contracting community colleagues yesterday deployed the newest learning asset in our portfolio, CON 0820 Critical Concepts in Operational Contract Support.

This new course “…provides a broad introduction on the use and importance of contractor capabilities in support of combat, post conflict, contingency, or humanitarian and disaster relief operations. It also reviews critical operational contract support (OCS) concepts and policies, standard OCS processes, organization-level responsibilities, and basic OCS program management principles to enable successful implementation and oversight of OCS. This course is appropriate for both acquisition and non-acquisition professionals at all levels, grades, and ranks.” The target audience is all acquisition and non-acquisition personnel, particularly those assuming duties in an operational setting. Encourage you to take a look and see if it might be something of personal or professional interest to help you meet your professional development needs.
