The Joint Contingency Acquisition Support Office (JCASO) provides strategic and operational level Operational Contract Support (OCS) program management across DoD and the Whole of Government. When requested, JCASO provides to the DoD Combatant Command (COCOM) Commanders a deployable OCS capability to effectively and efficiently coordinate OCS program activities. JCASO Operations, two Mission Support teams, Policy specialists, and Planners support COCOM planning, exercises, training, and deployments.

JCASO uses the All Partners Access Network (APAN) to share information and to conduct collaborative efforts with OSD, the JCASO Planners at each Combatant Command (CCMD), Component Services, Contracting Activities, other US Government agencies, and NGOs. APAN is a repository of OCS information for the OCS Community of Interest (COI). Access Required/Register here: https://community.apan.org/default.aspx.
