Question 1c: What experience does your firm have managing a blended workforce of contractor staff and military/civilian personnel coexisting and collaborating in the same facility?

Question 5b: The DAF intends to establish a target budget and apply an "at-risk" management fee (e.g., 20% guaranteed, 80% at risk). What are your views on this fee split, and what alternative risk-reward mechanisms would encourage superior performance?
