Since 2010, DynCorp International’s Supply Operations Air Group (SOAG) has supported personnel and equipment transport in Southern Afghanistan. As part of the program, DI owns, operates and maintains six UH-1H helicopters that move DI team members and cargo between more than 30 Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). After flying a total of more than 7500 accident-free hours, the aircraft return to the U.S. to DI’s facility in Huntsville, Ala. From there, DI team members will perform any necessary maintenance and modifications so each helicopter will be prepared for whatever its next mission may bring.

Department of Defense awards Kellogg, Brown & Root Services Inc. (KBR) for construction at Military Deveselu Air Base in Romania. The United States and Romania jointly selected the Deveselu Air Base near Caracal, Romania, to host a U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System which employs the SM-3 interceptor (also referred to as the “Aegis Ashore System”). The deployment to Romania is anticipated to occur in the 2015 timeframe as part of the second phase of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) – the U.S. national contribution to a NATO missile defense architecture.

KBR is the incumbent on the existing USC contract and has operated continuously for this client in the Balkans since 1995. Currently, KBR is providing services in Kosovo, Romania and Germany under the USC Contract. KBR has been instrumental in the military’s success in the region from the DoD’s initial deployment on a fast-paced contingency mission to their current sustainment operations.
