MS Installation Commander Council (ICC) on MS Defense Communities Development Council (DCDC):

The MS Defense Communities Development Council (DCDC) was established in February 2022 as a state-level advocacy organization for military and defense entities in Mississippi. DCDC members are focused on providing state and federal entities with information and opportunities to strengthen the military installations in their communities. The Installation Commanders Council (ICC) is composed of commanders from installations in Mississippi. In Feb 2024, the DCDC changed their by-laws, making the ICC Chair or Vice Chair or their designee an ex-officio member of the DCDC for the purpose of ensuring that the unique operational requirements and military family priorities are considered across pertinent policy areas. In June 2024, the ICC accepted this position.
