In the Community

With community partnership among local economic and government entities
and the military, RDP-21 showcases military programs and activities that directly
benefit private industry, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations
throughout the county.

The military partners with private enterprise through cooperative research and
development agreements that help local companies gain access to resources and
equipment. It also works with local schools and colleges to provide tutoring, guest
speakers, teleconferencing sessions, mentors for science projects, and other resources
that support education and youth development.

Department of Defense families are active volunteers in the community, including
schools, philanthropic organizations, and community support groups.
