The office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Infrastructure Modernization & Resilience (ODASW (IM&R)) is responsible for the stewardship of DoW installations on behalf of the Secretary of War. In this role, ODASW (IM&R) is the central policy advocate on facilities for the Defense Agencies, DoW Field Activities, and U.S. Special Operations Command, as these DoW Components do not report through a Military Department. The ODASW for IM&R's installation portfolio includes over 555,000 facilities worldwide (including buildings and linear and vertical structures); located at over 5,000 sites; and covering more than 28 million acres.

IM&R's facility investment management (FIM) principal programs include:

  • Military Construction
  • Facility Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization
  • Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB)
  • Unified Facilities Criteria
  • Sustainment Management Systems (SMS)
