Huntington Ingalls Industries‘ (NYSE: HII) technical solutions division has received a potential five-year, $346 million task order to help U.S. Africa Command and its international partners rescue, recover and evacuate military personnel.
The company said Monday it will conduct airlift and airdrop efforts, plan and manage rescue operations, support emergency medical care and perform logistics work for Africom.
“As a retired Marine with first-hand experience in the Horn of Africa, I recognize the unique challenges of the region and what this service means to the commanders and soldiers on the ground,” said Garry Schwartz, president of the defense and federal solutions business group at HII Technical Solutions.
The General Services Administration’s Federal Systems Integration and Management Center issued the task order under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services contract.
