The President signed an Executive Order on October 20, 2004 to implement the requirements of the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Program. The program honors the service rendered to the United States by veterans with disabilities incurred or aggravated in the line of duty during active service with the Armed Forces. It provides certain benefits for businesses owned by Service-Disabled Veterans seeking contracts with the Federal Government. Section 5 of the Executive Order required Defense Acquisition University to establish an online training module for the program.
