With a contemporary scarcity of resources and available time, nations again must reconstruct a resilient society with the capability to withstand an armed conflict. An essential element in a resilient society is a robust and available rail infrastructure that can ensure both societal and military needs simultaneously. This study aims to develop a framework that seeks to address these needs by testing the characteristics of the commercial Supply Relationship Evaluation (SRE) model from a logistics perspective to analyze the relationship between two governmental agencies when developing dual use railway infrastructure. Data was collected from governing documents, observations, and semi-structured interviews. Then a qualitative thematic analysis was conducted based on themes operationalized from the SRE model and strategic logistical principles. The study verifies successful usability of the new framework to evaluate government relationships aiming to achieve national security policy objectives. Future research should further integrate external network influences.
