About Us
There are some great reasons to join the Defense Contract Management Agency–starting with what we do.

Our mission sets us apart from just about everyone else. Our job is to get the very best for the very best. We make sure that only the absolute best equipment, supplies, support, and services are provided to the absolute best fighting force in the world–the U.S. military.

Fulfilling this mission can mean the difference between life and death. It’s what inspired our motto–Optimus Obligare–which means “Excellence is our obligation.” Excellence in the work we do. Excellence in the products we deliver. Excellence as an employer.

Key to fulfilling our mission are people: the more than 10,000 dedicated civilian and military personnel working around the globe to support our nation's warfigther. So key are people to DCMA's success that the Agency #1 Human Capital Strategic Initiative is to attract, recruit, develop and retain a high-performing and diverse workforce representative of the public it serves. Executing this initiative requires a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion as necessary elements for accomplishing our mission.

Why choose DCMA? Because it’s hard to beat virtually limitless career opportunities paired with competitive salaries, full Federal benefits, and high levels of personal satisfaction.
