Amentum Secures Contract to Sustain U.S. Air Base in East Africa
DJIBOUTI — PAE Government Services Inc., a subsidiary of Amentum, has been awarded a $24.5 million task order under the U.S. Air Force’s AFCAP IV program to provide facility operations support at the U.S. military base in Djibouti.
The task order covers a broad range of essential services — including facility maintenance, utilities, and logistical infrastructure support — all aimed at maintaining operational readiness for U.S. forces in the Horn of Africa.
💬 “Contracts like this ensure we have the footprint and the functionality to support complex joint operations across East Africa,” said a senior military official familiar with the region.
The award reaffirms PAE's ongoing role as a critical support provider in one of the U.S. military’s most strategically positioned bases. The Djibouti facility serves as a hub for Combined Joint Task Force–Horn of Africa (CJTF–HOA) and plays a vital role in counterterrorism, regional security, and humanitarian response missions.
The work is part of AFCAP IV, a long-standing Air Force contracting vehicle that enables rapid deployment of support services across contingency and overseas operations.
