Private Security Firms Possibility in US Afghan Strategy
Jeff Seldin — U.S. policymakers are “very, very close” to a new military strategy for Afghanistan and South Asia, but options still range from withdrawal to an increased reliance on private security contractors.
“I believe we are close,” Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters late Monday, cautioning a range of options are under consideration. “We’re sharpening each one of the options so you can see the pluses and minuses of each one,” he said.
The U.S. has about 8,400 troops in Afghanistan helping Afghan forces fight the Taliban, while also targeting militants aligned with the al-Qaida and Islamic State terror groups. Plans to send perhaps an additional 4,000 troops to boost U.S. efforts there have been delayed while the White House and military planners review various options.
On July 31, the United States Army awarded DynCorp International (DI) a new Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise (EAGLE II) Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). By being awarded this EAGLE II BOA, DI continues its rich history as a highly qualified and proven Prime Contractor prepared to submit prospective proposals on future EAGLE II Task Orders. The EAGLE BOA is for one base year with four option years, running through July 31, 2022.
The EAGLE II BOA allows DI the privilege to bid on task orders that provide maintenance, supply, transportation, and logistics support functions as required by the United States Army Sustainment Command (ASC) or other Government entity(ies) in support of applicable Military Units, Governmental agencies, coalition partners, or other entities as designated by ASC. Work is performed at various sites around the world.
