GWOT

Global War on Terror refers to the U.S. military and national security operations following the September 11, 2001 attacks. In contracting contexts, GWOT references legacy funding authorities, operational support contracts, and overseas contingency operations.

Understanding GWOT funding context helps contractors navigate legacy contract references and historical procurement patterns. GWOT-related contracting included rapid acquisition procedures, deployed support contracts, and logistics operations. Current overseas operations may trace organizational and contractual lineage to GWOT-era programs.
