Using public-private partnerships and energy savings contracts to fund DoD mobile assets
The Department of Defense (DoD) has engaged in numerous Public-Private Partnership (PPP) ventures such as outsourcing of services and privatization of military housing. In the past, the activities considered for PPPs have been primarily administrative and support functions. This research explores th...
