The Construction and Facilities Management Office (CFMO) is the principal advisor to the Montana Adjutant General regarding all real property, facilities, construction, and environmental management programs for the Montana Army National Guard (MTARNG.)  CFMO manages the sustainment and recapitalization of existing real property and the construction of new facilities.  The centralization of the construction and facility management expertise in CFMO enables the division to efficiently and resourcefully support the individual missions of MTARNG, Montana Disaster and Emergency Services, Montana Youth Challenge Academy, STARBASE and Montana Veterans Affairs.  CFMO manages over 1,600 assets: roughly 2M square feet of facility space and 32,000 acres of land.  Our staff recognize that facilities represent capital investments by the federal and state government and therefore are dedicated to properly managing facilities and land to enable effective performance in all of DMA’s divisions.
