"We are honored to have been selected for the SOF GLSS program and have the right team in place to ensure our Special Operators have what they need, when and where they need it."

Services to be provided U.S. Special Operations Forces include advanced logistics, maintenance and sustainment services across a variety of aviation, ground and maritime platforms.

Among the services: life-cycle management of a global supply chain; warehouses and depots; aircraft, vehicle and equipment repair and maintenance; and support for business process transformations.

The Special Operations Forces Global Logistics Support Services program contract carries a maximum value of $8 billion.
