Business Wire
KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced that it has been notified by the
Army that the company will continue to provide life support
services to U.S. bases in Iraq under LOGCAP III. This continuation
of KBR’s work results from the Army’s decision to cancel the
solicitation of Basic Life Support (BLS) services under LOGCAP
IV.
“The decision to continue with KBR on LOGCAP III was based on
input from theater commanders, the anticipated cost of the
transition and contractor performance. We remain proud of our work
and we are humbled to support our troops,” said Mark Williams,
President, KBR Infrastructure, Government and Power. “KBR’s success
under LOGCAP III is due to the dedication of its employees who work
at great sacrifice to themselves and their families. We look
forward to our continued work under LOGCAP III and to continuing to
provide the Army with high-quality life support services.”
Established by the U.S. Army to fulfill the Department of
Defense's global mission during contingency events, LOGCAP provides
troops with additional capabilities to rapidly support and augment
the logistical requirements of its deployed forces through the use
of a civilian contractor. Over the last five years KBR has
delivered engineering, logistics, and services support to U.S.
Forces in the LOGCAP III area of operations. KBR provides the
troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere with meals, shelter and
other vital services.
Under the LOGCAP III contract, KBR employees have served more
than one billion meals, delivered approximately 440 million pounds
of mail, produced nearly 23 billion gallons of water, issued more
than 8 billion gallons of fuel, hosted more than 170 million
patrons at MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) facilities, logged
more than 701 million miles transporting supplies and equipment for
the military, and laundered 78 million bundles of laundry all in an
effort to support U.S. troops as they carry out important and
dangerous missions.

supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals,
civil infrastructure, power and industrial markets. For more
