COLORADO SPRINGS,
Colo., Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aleut
Management Services (Aleut), a subsidiary of Aleut Federal, has
secured a $63 million contract from
the U.S. Space Force (USSF) to enhance its support for the Space
Force's training and education mission. Starting September 3, 2024, Aleut will directly support
the inaugural Officer Training Course (OTC) at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs.
Aleut's leadership in the OTC program marks a
significant expansion of its ongoing work with the 319th
Combat Training Squadron, which aims to develop a multidisciplinary
officer corps capable of addressing the complexities of space
operations. The USSF's inaugural OTC will serve as the first leader
development course, equipping officers with a broad understanding
of mission concepts and foundational knowledge to synchronize
operations across the Space Force's diverse operational
missions.
"Aleut is honored to be an integral part of
delivering this groundbreaking course, which will equip our Space
Force officers with the skills needed to address the full spectrum
of conflict in the space domain," said Jay
Waldman, Vice President of Defense for Aleut Federal's
Mission and Technology Programs.
Over 12 months, the OTC will provide
comprehensive training in space, intelligence, and cyber
operations, cultivating a "Guardian first, specialist second"
mindset. Each officer will be trained in all three primary
disciplines, with the program tailoring their primary focus to
align with the individuals' aptitude, preferences, and the needs of
the Space Force.
This approach is designed not only to prepare
officers for their immediate roles but also to develop future
leaders within the Space Force's operational framework.
Additionally, it will offer opportunities for Force Modernization
as part of the broader mission to reoptimize the Space Force for
Great Power Competition
Leveraging Aleut's extensive experience in
providing training and education programs to the Department of
Defense and other government clients, the OTC will ensure that USSF
officers are Day-One ready for their operational assignments.
The establishment of the OTC aligns with the
Space Force's broader strategy to redesign career paths for
officers, enlisted personnel, and civilians to meet the high-tech
demands of the service and build a combat-credible force.
