WRM III continues 10+ year legacy of providing materiel to U.S. deployed forces in conflict zones
The U.S. Air Forces Central (USAFCENT) awarded us the War Reserve Materiel (WRM) III contract in February 2017 after ten successful years performing on WRM II and the majority of all munitions used in Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan is first touched by our staff. For the current WRM III award, we primarily provide storage, maintenance, outload, reconstitution, exercise, and contingency logistics support for eight OCONUS locations across the Middle East. We also maintain, repair, and perform minor construction for Government facilities and property that is pre-positioned at one of the eight locations. Pre-positioned tasks include maintaining, repairing, storing, and shipping items such as base expeditionary sets, vehicles, fuel-related equipment, generators, medical materiels, munitions, and aerospace ground equipment.
Amentum, through its legacy company DynCorp International, successfully performed on the previous contract, WRM II, for ten years before the WRM III IDIQ was awarded.
