The agreement will see CWTS provide operations and maintenance support at NAS North Island, California; NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport, Florida; NS Norfolk and MCBF Quantico, Virginia; and MCBH Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. This task order also provides simulator and academic instruction for navy helicopter pilots and aircrew at NAS North Island and MCAF Quantico.

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality support together with the lowest cost solutions to all US services in today’s very tight defence budget.’
