Cubic Global Defense receives option year-nine
award to fulfill US Army’s mission support requirements
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced it received a contract modification
award worth more than $52 million from the U.S. Army Contracting
Command to support rotational and pre-deployment training exercises
at the U.S. Army Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) in Fort
Polk, Louisiana. Cubic was given the cost-plus-award-fee
incrementally funded contract to fulfill option year-nine of its
current Mission Support Contract in support of the JRTC with an
expected completion date of June 30, 2017.
Under the contract, Cubic will continue to assist the JRTC with
integrating U.S. and allied forces into rotational training
exercises through scenarios focused on Decisive Action and
theater-specific operational environments. These types of exercises
are conducted for units targeted for deployment in support of
ongoing military operations overseas and include situational
training, live fire, force-on-force and integrated live, virtual
and constructive (LVC) training. Cubic also provides expanded Role
Play, technical support for combat training instrumentation,
battlefield effects, video and cultural role players (foreign
language speakers) for added realism.
“JRTC is a critical element in the military’s Joint National
Training Center initiative with its goal of training joint force
units,” said Dave Buss, president of Cubic Global Defense. “Cubic
is committed to maintaining JRTC’s excellent reputation of offering
realistic training to our warfighters and will continue to fulfill
the Army’s requirements in providing mission readiness services to
better prepare them for actual battlefields.”
JRTC is one of the U.S. Army’s Combat Training Centers that is
focused on providing realistic, enhanced collective training
experiences at the Brigade Combat Team level. The center trains
light infantry, air assault, airborne and special operations units,
including rangers; and hosts various rotational training exercises
involving all other U.S. military forces.
Cubic has served the JRTC since 2001, assisting the Army in
training over 138 brigade combat teams and over one million
soldiers. Cubic received an initial five-year contract in 2001 and
won the competitive bid in 2007 for one-base year with nine
renewable option years.
