NEW HARTFORD, N.Y., Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Rome Research Corp. for the company to support the Global Information Grid with additional operator-level personnel.

New York-based RRC was contracted to provide operator-level personnel to support the 21st Signal Brigade. Officials say the RRC personnel, as part of the $3.8 million contract, will provide the Army Global Information Grid facilities with operations and maintenance services.

"We appreciate the confidence the Army has in RRC and the entire PAR team by awarding this effort to the company," Steve Lynch, PAR government operations president, said in a statement.
