Career Program 29: Installation Management

Welcome to the Army’s Career Program for Installation Management, which is known as CP-29. This program is home to more than 25,000 civilian employees in 23 commands and organizations. Our employees are an integral part of the Army's readiness team. They sustain installations that enable strong Soldiers and resilient Families for a mission-ready army. Army installations are communities that provide many of the same types of services expected from any small city such as department of public works, directorate of emergency services, and social service programs.

CP-29 professionals achieve mission excellence through streamlining processes, building strategic partnerships, and exercising good stewardship of resources. They help deliver programs, services and activities that offer Soldiers, Families, and Civilians opportunities to enrich their lives both culturally and creatively to help relieve stress, build strength and resilience.

The CP 29 workforce is inspired to go the extra mile to provide world-class customer service. They are building a vibrant workplace culture that rewards creative, innovative and efficient solutions. These employees are the masters of the art and science of Installation Management.

The CP-29 program provides professional development opportunities for careerists in all grades.

Career Program 29 News and Spotlight

Intern Spotlight: Lauren Biddle

Lauren Biddle, a career program 29 intern who currently works for the Plans, Analysis and Integration Office on Fort Wainwright, said that living in Alaska and working for the Army has been both exciting and challenging.

“I never in a million years imagined living somewhere like this. Only knowing the tiny town of Newark, Delaware, I imagined Alaska to be a place with igloos and polar bear crossing signs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Fairbanks is not only beautiful, but that it has many of the comforts from home,” said Biddle. “As for working for the Army on Fort Wainwright, it’s been an incredible opportunity thus far. This is my first time working for the Army though, so I’m still learning the culture and, of course, all of the acronyms.”
