The Army's ARMS program offers commercial/industrial businesses the opportunity to establish business centers at eligible Army production facilities. The ARMS "Asset Management" model proffers mature infrastructure and services to businesses seeking manufacturing, office, warehouse, and other industrial park resources. The facility contractor (property manager) at the participating Army site negotiates terms and conditions with these clients reaching the "fair market value" for needed asset requirements.

The ARMS program offers leasehold improvements to prospective clients to upgrade, meet code requirements, or adapt existing infrastructure to business client needs. As with state and local economic development agencies, the aim of the ARMS Loan Guarantee Program, a cooperative arrangement between the Army and United States Department of Agriculture is to assist commercial clients/tenants in capitalizing their business opportunities. Similar to other USDA loan programs, this is an economic tool available for potential client economic growth. This loan program provides tenants with working capital, equipment acquisition, building modification, and other business resources to locate at eligible Army industrial facilities.
