DEFENSE ACQUISITION UNIVERSITY- PORT HUENEME

The Headquarters of DAU West Region is strategically located in San Diego to support a large contingent of the Defense Acquisition Workforce. From an ideal location on the Pacific Rim, San Diego is the anchor for a region poised for success in an era of growing needs for acquisition learning. Our most recent addition is a test location on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

To emphasize our commitment, we maintain as our strategic vision, “Enabling the Defense Acquisition Workforce to achieve the right acquisition outcomes.” We look forward to working with you during your next DAU experience. The Defense Acquisition University is the one institution that touches nearly every member of the Defense Acquisition Workforce throughout all career stages. The university provides a full range of basic, intermediate, and advanced certification training, assignment-specific training, applied research, and continuous learning opportunities. The university also fosters professional development through mission assistance, rapid-deployment training on emerging acquisition initiatives, online knowledge-sharing tools, and continuous learning modules.
