2021, the Industry Resilience Program provided $1.5 million to the state of Virginia, with $1.026 million going to the GENEDGE Alliance (a Virginia manufacturing development organization) to help at least 85 small defense companies afford compliance with Defense Department cybersecurity standards and $474,000 going to the Old Dominion University-run Maritime Industrial Base Ecosystem (MIBE) initiative, which seeks to modernize and sustain maritime training pipelines to support the shipbuilding and ship repair workforces. In February 2021, OLDCC funding allowed the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism to conduct a study of its defense industry (much like Guam, Hawaii's Pacific location makes it strategically important and military-tied). State officials were able to move towards developing a new agency to attract local businesses to defense contracts, using military funds to diversify the Hawaiian economy, and planning ahead in the event of a defense spending decrease. Organization OLDCC is a Department of Defense field activity under the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD); more specifically, it is under the purview of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)).
