So, you might ask, what is a Mission Assist Workshop, and how is it different from other DAU training? Glad you asked! As the website discusses:
“DAU's Mission Assistance activities include a variety of consulting services for teams and individuals; as well as the acquisition workshops listed below.
Workshops are scheduled on-demand and delivered by DAU faculty for requesting organizations at the customer's location or at DAU facilities. These Mission Assistance are not offered for general registration. They are designed and delivered in an "Intact Team" environment.
In some cases a Fee-For-Service (FFS) arrangement may apply and would be coordinated between the organization's representative and the appropriate DAU representative. This will be reflected in the Support Agreement (DD1144, or IAA for non-DoD organizations) signed by both parties. Fees may include: materials, instructor(s) travel, per diem, and in some cases labor rates.
