Sample U.S. Army DD Form 1391; BibliographyThe Department of Defense (DoD) constructs, operates, and maintains a large number of facilities. DoD incorporates life-cycle cost-effective practices into many aspects of the military planning and construction processes. This report provides RAND's description and assessment of the process used to obtain life-cycle cost-effective facilities and how that affects DoD construction options and choices.Defense contractsUnited StatesCost effectivenessUnited StatesArmed ForcesFacilitiesCostsUnited StatesArmed ForcesFacilitiesPlanningUnited StatesArmed ForcesMilitary construction operationsCostsUnited StatesArmed ForcesMilitary construction operationsPlanningDefense contractsCost effectiveness.355.7068/1Samaras Constantine879916Haddad Abigail1243146Grammich Clifford A(Clifford Anthony),1963-1235416Webb Katharine Watkins1243147National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220123703321Obtaining life-cycle cost-effective facilities in the Department of Defense2883522UNINA
