This is a huge contract and congrats to GIS. They have already done some work on the RSSS stuff with USACE and I posted that bit of news below this first piece. If anyone has anything else to add to this story, feel free to comment below. I am not that familiar with this contract and all that it entails, but this is great news for those looking for more security contracting work in Afghanistan. –Matt

Industry Talk: FBO–USACE Looking For Interested Companies For Possible Security Support Contract, Afghanistan

Filed under: Afghanistan,Industry Talk,Iraq — Tags: Afghanistan, Aviation, CMC, contractors, Industry Talk, Iraq, Logistics, private security, remote camps, security, USACE — Matt @ 5:15 PM

Not that companies who are in the mix don’t already know about this FBO posting, but still I figured I would put it out there for the rest of the industry to check out. From the sounds of it, this contract would be similar to the remote bases that USACE used to run in Iraq for the CMC projects. Those were cool contracts because contractors did it all at those camps. From PSD missions to convoy security, and of course static security–security contractors were vital assets.

What would be different here is the increased use of aviation transport. In Iraq you could convoy everywhere and aviation was not used as much for these CMC camps. But in Afghanistan, air transport and the security that goes with it would be a big part of this contract.

The other difference is that USACE is probably doing a different mission with this contract than clearing munitions. Reconstruction could mean all sorts of things and who knows what they will be building? We will see if they fly this one or not, because this is still in the beginning research phase. –Matt
