ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 8, 2011 – L-3 MPRI, a global provider of integrated training solutions, announced today that it has received a single-award contract to deliver support services for the U.S. Army Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) program. The period of performance includes phase-in from November 1 through December 31, 2011, a base year from January 1 through October 31, 2012, plus four one-year options. The total value of the contract is $41.97 million, if all options are exercised.

L-3 MPRI will provide all personnel, including instructors, role players, and supervisory and support staff; supplies; and other items and services necessary to support the development, administration, execution and instruction of the U.S. Army SERE Level C Course at Fort Rucker, Ala.

“We are pleased to continue our more than 20 years of support for the U.S. Army with this mission-critical training contract,” said Doug Fouser, senior vice president and general manager of L-3 MPRI’s Military Services Group. “Our team is exceptionally positioned to support Fort Rucker’s curriculum with training in evading capture, survival skills and the military code of conduct.”
