CAI announces US Army JRTC support extension
Cubic Applications, Inc (CAI) will continue to provide rotational and pre-deployment training to US troops under a contract modification worth more than $60 million announced on 3 July.
CAI has been under contract with the US Army to provide mission support services to the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) since July 2007. This is the seventh option year the company has received under the agreement, bringing the potential ceiling value of this contract to $896 million.
The JRTC is the US Army’s premier Combat Training Center, providing advanced collective training for a wide variety of units, including brigade combat teams and special forces operational detachments, including conventional airborne, air assault, light infantry, mechanised infantry and armoured units, as well as special operations forces from all service components.
CAI integrates all military participants into rotational exercises via scenarios involving multinational operations. Standard rotational training exercises last 14 days and require contractor support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Since November 2003, JRTC has conducted numerous 21 day mission rehearsal exercises for units deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. These highly realistic exercises include situational training, live fire, force-on-force, and integrated Live-Virtual-Constructive training. Support typically includes expanded role play, technical help with MILES combat training instrumentation, battlefield effects, video, and cultural role players (foreign language speakers) for added realism.
