Canonical: https://tgos.io/news/2026/10/26/army-plans-to-expand-private-capital-program-federal-news/ The Army plans to expand its Strategic Capital Initiative across its installations over the next three to five years, Federal News Network reported.[1] Launched earlier in 2026, the program seeks industry co-investment in Army infrastructure, the industrial base and supply chains.[1] Jordan Gillis, assistant secretary of the Army for installations, energy and environment, said industry should expect another round of requests for information (RFIs).[1] Former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who launched the initiative among other efforts, resigned last month.[1] Marc Andersen, the Army's assistant secretary for financial management and comptroller, said the initiative was not slowing under new leadership.[1] The program's six pillars include energy resilience and dominance, modernizing the organic industrial base, and critical minerals and resource development.[1] Earlier selections show the kinds of projects involved: Carlyle and its portfolio company CyrusOne were selected to build data centers at Fort Bliss, Texas, and Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.[1] In September, the Army also announced conditional awards of long-term leases to three companies to finance, build and operate commercial power generation at six installations.[1] ## Why it matters Gillis said the expected outreach would include targeted requests tied to the initiative's pillars and broader invitations for companies to propose ideas, Federal News Network reported.[1] ## Sources 1.
