Commands typically have an IT section which manages all the licenses. For software that isn't pretty much universal like Office, Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. there typically is an authorization issue, i.e. this segment of the command does this and therefore needs that. It's tougher if you're being different from other commands in wanting it as budgeting for licenses probably doesn't support it.
BTW, all military and Government workers can also take advantage of the HUP (Home User Program) in which things like Office, Visio, and Project cost you $30 each or thereabouts. I did my final personal buy before I punched out of CS for good a couple years ago.

Microsoft has military deals, the same as for office, for a low price. Problem is its for a private license. They won't give a private license for a government computer and so enters the challenge of funding. Depending on why and where you want Project, you will have to request through NEC using unit fundd or a CAPER. Start with NEC and they can guide you through the process.

Thanks everyone I have already pushed this up to BN but figured I would reach out.
I have utilized the military discounted office for my personal use, however I would like to have MS project on a few military laptops in my company to teach my Platoon leaders and Platoon Sgts project management using critical path method and Gantt charts.

PO2 Ed C. Can probably help. Tag Information Technology, Computers, and Systems Analyst and you'll probably get plenty of help. All I can say is you should probably speak with DOIM / NEC as they normally have a share drive of accepted AGM-approved software.
