This isn't just about construction – it’s about readiness‼️
Joint Base Lewis-McChord broke ground this week on Project FORGE, a pioneering $169.1 million pilot program that completely rewrites the playbook on military construction. By bypassing traditional red tape and using flexible contracting, this initiative will modernize base housing, operational facilities, and airlift infrastructure faster than ever before (it’s already demonstrated time savings of up to 50% and cost savings of up to 30% over legacy methods).
This ensures our service members within I Corps and the 62nd Airlift Wing have the cutting-edge facilities they need to rapidly train, deploy, and project power across the Indo-Pacific.
