FALLS CHURCH, Va., June 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department has given DynCorp International a task order for basic leadership training to the military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The award, from the State Department's Bureau of African Affair's Africa Peacekeeping Program, features a one-year base period of performance and two one-year options.
DynCorp said the potential value of the task order is $17 million if all options are exercised.
"We are proud to continue our work in promoting peace and stability in Africa," said DynCorp President Steve Schorer. "DI has extensive experience and success in providing training designed to enhance the leadership and management capability of our partners in the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
Under the task order, DI will provide basic leadership and specialty training, focusing on junior and mid-level military personnel in functional areas such as communications, logistics, and engineering.
The State Department's AFRICAP program supports regional stability in Africa by building the capacity of African countries and regional organizations to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts on the African continent.
