Business Wire
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that the U.S. Army
has selected Fluor as the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program
(LOGCAP) IV contractor to provide regional forward planning support
for Africa Command (AFRICOM), to include the countries within
Africa, the African Union and African regional security
organizations, and Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), to include Central
America, South America and the Caribbean. This is part of a new
approach by the U.S. Army to align the current LOGCAP IV
contractors with the six Department of Defense Geographic Combatant
Commands (GCC) that are responsible for effective command and
control of U.S. military forces in peace and war.
As one of three contractors selected to work on the LOGCAP IV
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract, Fluor
will support future requirements for LOGCAP services in the AFRICOM
and SOUTHCOM areas of responsibility. As a result of today’s
announcement, Fluor will assign a LOGCAP planner to the AFRICOM
headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, and the SOUTHCOM headquarters
in Miami, Fla. These planners will provide information and assist
with the integration of LOGCAP services by leveraging the expertise
of LOGCAP contractors in multifunctional logistics support. This
will ensure the highest quality in the delivery of LOGCAP services
for the respective Combatant Commands.
“From the work we do through our commercial Energy &
Chemicals and Mining business lines to our work serving the U.S.
Government, Fluor has extensive experience in Africa and the
Americas,” said Bruce Stanski, president of Fluor’s Government
Group. “Regionally aligning LOGCAP IV will provide an improved
rapid response capability for contingency operations and increase
mission efficiencies. We look forward to planning alongside AFRICOM
and SOUTHCOM to meet their logistics and life support services
requirements.”
Established by the U.S. Army to fulfill the Department of
Defense's global mission during contingency events, LOGCAP provides
the military with additional capabilities to support the logistics
requirements of its deployed forces rapidly through use of civilian
contractors.
Fluor provides the U.S. Government logistics and life support
services in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Jordan and the Philippines;
military construction around the world; disaster relief and
recovery services throughout the United States; and nuclear
decommissioning and operations at government-owned sites.
