Fluor Corporation announced yesterday that it is part of a team that has been awarded a task order to build a camp in Iraq for the US Army. Fluor will act as a sub-contractor to Readiness Management Support L.C. on the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program's (AFCAP) task order. The camp will be built on an existing military base located outside of Baghdad and will include housing for US Army personnel, bunkers and utility infrastructure.
AFCAP allows military commanders to "augment" or relieve their forces by using civilian contractors for a range of civil engineering, logistics and services functions. Although initially designed for use by the Air Force, the program is open to the other services.
"The award of this significant support task in Iraq reflects the growing confidence the Department of Defence has in Fluor's ability to mobilise rapidly and perform with excellence," said Lisa Glatch, Fluor Government Group's operations lead.
Fluor Corporation provides services on a global basis in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction, operations, maintenance and project management. Headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, US, Fluor is a Fortune 500 company with revenues of $10 billion in 2002.
