Battalion Sets
Located in Iraq, the Battalion Sets contract required the supply of military equipment, including vehicle rolling stock, armor, night vision equipment, fire control, VHF/UHF communication and spare parts for all supported equipment. Deliveries to three sites were supported (Al Kirkush, Taji, and Al Numiniyah). The contract included the supply of parts and operations manuals, and training sessions in product usage (train the trainer). Payments were received on delivery and inspections were made in factories upon receipts of the goods. Delivery convoys were accompanied by security teams, and used daily road reports to follow the optimal unique route each day. Despite these precautions, convoys were hit by roadside bombs on three occasions throughout the contract. When an attack occurred, the US Army was notified immediately, and goods were immediately readjusted, rerouted if necessary and redelivered to our mutual agreement. This process insured the battalions were adequately re-supplied.
