top-notch personnel and expertise instruction solutions
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced a $6.2 million follow-on award from
the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Expeditionary Center to support its
Advisor Academic Services located at Joint Base
McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. Team Cubic, composed of three
industry partners: Language Directions, LLC; Marton Technologies,
Inc.; and Fae Vectus, LLC, will continue to collectively provide
classroom and scenario-based training on core skills applicable to
all Air Advisors. The USAF Expeditionary Center is the Air Force's
Center of Excellence for advanced mobility and expeditionary combat
support training and prepares Air Advisors and other airmen to work
with partner nations facing multi-faceted peacetime and wartime
operations.
Under the contract, Team Cubic will offer various types of
education and training requirements organized into two pillars:
Core Knowledge; and Language, Region and Culture (LRC). These forms
of instruction are necessary to provide a solid foundation for Air
Advisors, who work with partner nations in support of Combatant
Commands (CCMDs), their respective Air Components, Headquarters Air
Force (HAF) and Major Commands (MAJCOMs).
“Recent turmoil in different regions of the world highlights the
need for qualified, competent and well-trained warfighters with
various competencies during expeditionary combat,” said Dave Buss,
president of Cubic Global Defense. “Cubic will continue to
strengthen our working relationship with the USAF Expeditionary
Center as we provide responsive and effective training that
prepares Air Advisors to operate in complex and uncertain combat
environments.”
Cubic is the incumbent contractor currently providing Air
Advisor Academic instructors and role players to the USAF
Expeditionary Center. The follow-on contract will begin in October
2016.
