SAN DIEGO, CA -- 06/23/09 --
Cubic Applications, Inc., a mission support
services business of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), is supplying training
specialists, pyrotechnics and other support to prepare U.S. Army soldiers
to deal with the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during
deployment. Cubic's Hampton, Virginia-based Operations Support Division and
Leavenworth, Kansas-based Training and Education Division will begin
providing their unparalleled training expertise immediately as part of a
team that recently received a one-year task order from the Mission and
Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Eustis, Virginia,
to support training at 16 U.S. Army installations in the continental United
States.
The team will draw on Cubic's extensive technical knowledge and proven
functional expertise. Cubic will initially support five of the 16
installations covered by the task order for the U.S. Army Home Station
Training Improvised Explosive Device - Defeat Lane Red Teams. Red Teaming
allows Commanders to develop decision-making skills for planning and
operations by anticipating the perceptions and actions of partners,
adversaries and others.
Cubic provides similar training for soldiers attending courses at the U.S.
Army Transportation School and U.S. Army Quartermaster Center and School
during convoy operations training exercises at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia.
Under a separate contract, another Cubic division supplies scenario
development, role players and battlefield effects experts for counter IED
training at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana. In
addition, Cubic has a team with the Army Center for Lessons Learned at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, that is responsible for tracking IED-related
information and providing support for the development and distribution of
lessons learned to soldiers worldwide.
Parsons Operations and Services Sector will manage the team and will ensure
complete resourcing and rapid, professional responsiveness to Headquarters,
Installation Management Command (IMCOM), Operations Division requirements.
