OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) programs

OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) programs refer to initiatives, operations, or activities conducted outside the 48 contiguous U.S. states. These programs typically involve military deployments, government projects, or corporate operations in territories such as Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, or abroad. They recognize the logistical, legal, and logistical differences from domestic programs, often requiring specialized planning and considerations related to international regulations, security, and cultural differences. Essentially, OCONUS programs extend U.S. operations beyond the continental mainland, supporting strategic, military, or commercial objectives in diverse locations worldwide.
