# DoD Launches FORTRESS America Resilience Program

The Department of Defense established the FORTRESS America Program Office to improve military-installation resilience across energy, cybersecurity, communications, supply chains, and strategic reserves. The Army’s Janus nuclear power program may support the initiative’s broader goal of enabling installations to generate power independently, but the signals identify no solicitation, designated funding, contract value, or procurement schedule. For contractors, this is an early indication of potential requirements across several defense infrastructure and technology markets, not a current contracting opportunity.

- Companies working in installation energy, cybersecurity, communications, supply chains, or strategic reserves can use these focus areas to assess where their capabilities may align with future implementation plans.
- Energy contractors should note that Janus is described as one possible contributor within a broader effort considering multiple technologies; no specific technology selection or award is identified.
- DoD has not announced a solicitation or procurement timeline, so there are no stated bid deadlines or immediate submission actions.
