Department organizations worldwide. Black Box works closely with
the US Marines and other MILDEPS assuring that its provided
solutions are aligned with C4I mission outcome
requirements.

Furnish, Install, Secure, and Test the communications, network, and
collaboration infrastructure at MCAS Cherry Point.

Marines as they continue to improve force readiness by improving
their voice and data infrastructures globally,” said Jeff Murray,
Vice President Government Solutions, at Black Box, “The Marines
have a long history of quick response and decisive actions
worldwide and the Systems which Black Box provides will support the
Marine Corps' ability to execute their mission.”
The MCAS Cherry Point project is the most recent award by NCI to
Black Box as the Marine Corps continues to modernize and upgrade
their base, camps and stations. Other projects include sustainment
