(NYSE: KBR) announced today that its global Government Services
business, KBRwyle, has been awarded a $441
million contract for base operations support services by

Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, as
well as at Chabelley Air Field in Djibouti and Camp Simba in Manda Bay,
Kenya.
Under the terms of the contract, KBRwyle will provide a broad
spectrum of support in areas including public safety; air
operations; ordnance; supply; morale, welfare and recreation;
galley; facilities; utilities; vehicles and equipment; and
