Army Leases Property to Private Partners for Data Centers and Storage

The US Army has selected Carlyle and CyrusOne to develop commercial hyperscale data centers on Army installations as part of its Enhanced Use Lease program. The program aims to supplement traditional government funding with strategic capital and drive technological innovation. The Army is looking to sign its first leasing agreement by July 1, with agreements on a rolling basis. This initiative may signal a shift towards more private sector involvement in the Army’s operations and infrastructure development.
