Overview

IMCOM PMPS Services support force protection readiness of U.S. Army installations. IMCOM PMPS provides senior SMEs across various disciplines, enabling U.S. Army installations to align with Protection Program instructions and prepare for periodic inspections. This program supports installations’ ability to implement best practices to “Prevent, Protect, Mitigate, Respond to, and Recover” from various threats.

HHA teams, consisting of 6–10 Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), conduct 7–10 installation assessments each year. Before arriving on site, the team reviews installation documents and coordinates with garrison staff to ensure they are prepared to educate, guide, and advocate for installation personnel throughout the process.

During the assessment week, SMEs conduct interviews, inspect facilities, review Protection Program documentation, and observe the implementation of required standards. The primary role of team members is to teach installation teams how to strengthen their programs, clarify protection requirements, and help prioritize achievable improvements.

By capturing trends across multiple installations, SMEs support IMCOM’s mission to drive enterprise-level improvements, informing updates to policies, training, and protection program guidance. Each assessment concludes with an out-brief and a formal HHA report that provides clear risks, strengths, and actionable recommendations—ensuring installations receive not only a comprehensive evaluation but also advocacy and insights that shape protection improvements across IMCOM.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
