This five-year program, expected to begin in September 2006, will support USJFCOM's Joint Trainer responsibilities by planning and conducting exercises, crisis rehearsals and other training events, from inception through execution. SAIC expects the request for proposal to be released in January 2006.

SAIC has chosen team members with joint training, simulation, exercise and C4ISR experience. The team includes L-3 Communications' Titan Group, Reston, Va.; Camber Corporation, Huntsville, Ala.; Alion Science and Technology, McLean, Va.; URS Corporation's EG&G Division, Gaithersburg, Md.; Professional Software Engineering, Inc. (PROSOFT), Virginia Beach, Va.; SRA International, Fairfax, Va.; and EDO Corporation's Professional Services Division, Arlington, Va.

"Our goal for the JWFC program is to improve contractor responsiveness and efficiency in the near term and help JWFC achieve training transformation to meet tomorrow's missions," says Bill Lay, SAIC's JWFC program manager. Lay is the former deputy director of the NATO Joint Warfare Centre in Norway and served as senior mentor during combined NATO exercises and crisis rehearsals. SAIC selected Lay because of his experience in training allied and coalition forces, a growing element of JWFC's evolving mission.

SAIC is the largest employee-owned research and engineering company in the United States, with annual revenues of $7.2 billion and more than 43,000 employees in more than 150 cities worldwide. http://www.saic.com/
