DynCorp International to Provide Landmine Clearance Advice, Assistance, and Equipment to Lebanon
Business Wire, August 16, 2007
FALLS CHURCH, Va. -- The U.S. Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement has awarded DynCorp International LLC (DI) a task order to assist in the clearance of landmines and other unexploded ordnance in Lebanon.
The task order has a potential value of $2 million over a term of one base year and one option year. It calls for DI to assist Lebanon's National Demining Organization with the management of a quality program that emphasizes safety and maximizes resources to ensure efficiency during demining activities. On behalf of the State Department, DI will provide equipment including vehicles, personal protective equipment, metal detectors, mechanical demining attachments and spare parts, and staking and marking devices to the Lebanese Armed Forces Engineer Regiment, which will implement the program. DI will also provide fuel and maintenance for its demining vehicles.
DynCorp International will also provide training to introduce new technologies to increase effectiveness during area reduction, survey, clearance, and quality-assurance operations. Finally, by September 2008, DI will assist in the completion of a technical survey and marking of all suspected minefields in Lebanon.
"Our work in removing and destroying landmines and other hazardous ordnance is one of the most gratifying services we perform," said DynCorp International President and CEO Herbert J. Lanese. "It is a privilege to perform work that clearly and immediately improves people's lives and makes the world a safer place."
This work supports the Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement, which participates in the multi-agency U.S. Humanitarian Mine Action Program. DynCorp International will work with this office in collaboration with the government of Lebanon.
DynCorp International has ongoing weapons-destruction task orders in Afghanistan and Cambodia with the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement. Within the last year, under contracts with the Departments of Defense and State, DynCorp International has also provided to Lebanon emergency relief supplies such as tents as well as police vehicles and equipment.
