S TO R A G E 101 The stuff to know to do storage right

TABL E O F CO NT E NT S 01 Federal Government Capability Statement 02 Functional Areas 03 Procurement Vehicles 04 Planning and Design 05 Installation 06 Ongoing Support 07 Next Steps

Readiness is the Mission. Storage keeps it Moving. Operational readiness depends on more than people and equipment. It depends on the systems that keep both organized. Across defense environments, equipment must be stored securely, accessed quickly, maintained properly, and accounted for consistently. When storage falls behind, readiness follows. Delays increase. Accountability becomes harder. Valuable space disappears. Effective storage helps organizations solve these challenges by focusing on three priorities: + Reduce Footprint by consolidating equipment and eliminating wasted space. + Maximize Space by improving organization, accessibility, and storage density. + Prevent Loss by strengthening accountability, security, and control of mission-critical assets.

From logistics centers and maintenance facilities to armories, aviation units, and readiness operations, better storage creates faster access, clearer accountability, and stronger operational performance. Because when the mission calls, readiness can’t be buried on a shelf somewhere. 1

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAPABILITY STATEMENT

WH O W E ARE

We help defense organizations solve operational space challenges. That means understanding how equipment moves, how personnel work, and how facilities support readiness every day. We partner with military organizations to create environments that improve accountability, increase efficiency, and support long-term mission success. From initial planning through installation and beyond, we focus on solutions built around the way the mission operates.

Defense work is rarely short on moving parts. Weapons. Gear. Records. Supplies. Patterson Pope Defense helps bring order to the operational spaces behind the mission, so teams can manage equipment, people, and workflows with fewer workarounds.

W HAT W E DO We design operational spaces that help defense teams stay ready. If it’s issued, stored, tracked, maintained, or moved, we help organize it. That could mean faster issue-and-turn-in, cleaner inventory checks, better tool control, tighter weapons storage, or more usable floor space in crowded facilities. Bottom line: We turn storage into operational support.

PLANNING A N D D ES I GN

Every successful storage project starts long before the first rack, locker, or workstation arrives. Planning helps ensure the final solution supports your personnel, equipment, workflows, and mission requirements from day one. Our planners work alongside military personnel, facility teams, architects, engineers, and contractors to develop storage solutions tailored to each environment. Every recommendation is built around how equipment is stored, issued, maintained, secured, and accessed in the real world. Every project is based on factors such as: + Access points and traffic flow + Security requirements + Item size and weight + Floor load capacity + Fire and life safety considerations + ADA compliance requirements + HVAC, sprinkler, and utility placement + Structural and engineering constraints + Future growth and mission changes

“We’re not just trying to pack a lot of stuff in a small space. We’re trying to create a workflow, a really efficient work environment, and a safer workplace.” Pete Rooney, Head of Strategic Growth – Defense, Patterson Pope

IN STA L L ATI O N

A storage solution isn’t successful when it’s designed. It’s successful when it’s installed correctly and ready to support the mission. Military projects often involve active facilities, multiple stakeholders, security requirements, and tight schedules. That’s why installation planning starts early, before materials arrive on site. Our team coordinates with facility personnel, contractors, architects, and project managers to develop an installation plan that minimizes disruption and keeps operations moving. Whether the project involves a single room or work across multiple buildings, the goal remains the same: deliver a solution that performs as intended from day one. Certified installers and project teams manage the execution, ensuring systems are assembled correctly, tested where required, and installed to specification. Our installation teams work around real project conditions, including client schedules, contractor timelines, site access, and facility requirements. Need after-hours work or a specific installation window? We’ll coordinate the details, stay flexible, and do what it takes to get the project installed right and on time.

OUR We install it right. PROMISE Or we make it right. 42

Mission requirements drive the solution. Our partnerships with leading manufacturers ensure each project is built with the products, capabilities, and expertise the mission demands. LEARN MORE Click here to learn more about our Business Partners

ONGOING S U P P O RT

Military missions evolve. Equipment changes. Personnel rotates. Operational requirements shift. That’s why our relationship with clients extends beyond design and installation. Whether it’s product training, system adjustments, expansion planning, maintenance support, or answering questions years down the road, our team remains available to help keep your storage systems working as intended. We work alongside facility managers, logistics teams, maintenance personnel, and leadership to ensure storage continues supporting readiness, accountability, and day-to-day operations long after project completion. Our storage systems don’t stop delivering value the day they’re installed—they continue supporting the mission for years to come. 43

The best storage projects start with the right questions. What needs to move faster? What needs to stay secure? Where is space getting tight? Which workflows are costing time, clarity, or accountability? The answers are different for every mission, facility, and team. That’s why the next step is a conversation, not a preset solution. Patterson Pope works with defense organizations to understand the space, equipment, people, and pressures behind the project. From there, we help map a path forward, whether that means improving an existing room, planning a larger modernization, or building toward future operational needs. Our role is to stay useful beyond the first meeting, the first layout, and the final install. As missions shift, gear changes, and facilities keep working harder, we remain a partner you can return to for planning, support, and next-phase improvements.

Military organizations face constant pressure to do more with the space, equipment, and resources they already have. The right storage strategy helps meet that challenge by reducing footprint, improving accountability, protecting critical assets, and creating faster access to the tools and equipment that support the mission. At its best, storage becomes more than organization. It becomes a force multiplier—helping teams work more efficiently, maintain readiness, and stay focused on what matters most. Every square foot has value. Every asset has a purpose. And every organization benefits when both are organized to support readiness.
