                        Since its creation in the early 1960s, the Administration and Congress have looked to the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation to assist states and communities hosting installations dealing with a changing Department of Defense presence. Our Mission & History
	  	
      			The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation is a Field Activity within the Department of Defense and provides technical and financial assistance to states, territories and communities that are invested in the defense mission. Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation assistance supports the readiness and resiliency of both defense installations and defense communities, a priority for the country’s National Defense Strategy.
				
								Mission
					
                                  	            
                                                
	        						The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, in coordination with the other Federal Agencies, delivers a program of technical and financial assistance to enable states, territories and communities to plan and carry out civilian responses to workforce, business, and community needs arising from Defense actions and policies; cooperate with their military installations and leverage public and private capabilities to deliver public infrastructure and services to enhance the military mission, achieve facility and infrastructure savings as well as reduced operating costs; and, increase military, civilian, and industrial readiness and resiliency, and support military families.

	        						Founded in 1961, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, formerly the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA), continues to assist communities across all 50 states and the U.S. territories. These communities have different economic profiles and demographic make-ups but share the goal of supporting the military mission.



With headquarters in Arlington, Virginia and the Western Regional Office in Sacramento, California, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation employs an interdisciplinary staff that helps states, territories and communities support the National Security Strategy by achieving economic resiliency and agility in the face of shifting Department of Defense priorities. This is done by engaging with state, territorial and community leaders, the Military Services, and other Federal agencies to develop strategies around positive economic growth; support nearby civilian use adjustments; and ensure the balance of community growth in order to enhance the readiness, resiliency and sustainability of installations and in support of the military mission.
