More Info on DYNCORP INT'L
DynCorp International is a global government services provider in support of U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives, delivering support solutions for defense, diplomacy, and international development.
We provide expertly conceived and professionally executed services to meet the complex demands of today’s world. We have broad international expertise and over 60 years of experience working in remote, dangerous and austere environments. We integrate our many competencies to provide solutions that fit each customer and situation, and bring a culture of compliance, accountability, and relentless performance to each program and task.
Our roots are in aviation. In 1951, our predecessor, Land-Air, Inc., implemented the first Contract Field Teams, by which we deployed teams of technicians to the field to maintain military aircraft. We have held the Contract Field Teams contract continuously since then, and currently maintain rotary and fixed-wing aircraft for all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces throughout the world, for foreign governments flying American aircraft, and for commercial aviation.
In recent years, DynCorp International has broadened its reach in program management and security. To date, we have recruited, trained, and deployed more than 6,000 highly-qualified civilian peacekeepers and police trainers to 11 countries, including Haiti, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, for the Department of State.
We provide support to protect American diplomats in high-threat countries, and services to eradicate illicit narcotics crops and support drug-interdiction efforts in South America. We are engaged in the removal and destruction of landmines and light weapons in Afghanistan. We have vast international experience and operate on all continents except Antarctica.
We provide logistics and contingency support to the U.S. military and our allies around the world, including major platform support, logistics, and contingency operations programs in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific Rim, and Africa.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we put that experience to work at home. In St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, we provided vital temporary infrastructure to help keep the parish government and Sheriff’s Department functioning. We also helped provide temporary housing in Iowa for persons displaced by flooding in the Midwest in 2008.
Our conversion program for the venerable UH1/AH1 helicopter has re-created the world’s most successful rotary aircraft into one that flies higher, faster, and more efficiently. The thousands of Hueys in service around the world can now enter a new era of service to military, law enforcement, transport, and humanitarian-relief efforts.
We recently expanded our intelligence services beyond our Global Linguist Solutions translation support for the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) with DynCorp International Intelligence Training and Solutions. Our 300 intelligence professionals provide strategic, professional, and technical advisory and support services to government and military organizations through the Phoenix Training Center and the DynCorp International Center for Professional Development.
In addition, we have also recently strengthened our ability to support international development with the acquisition of Casals & Associates. The combined strengths and experience of DynCorp International and Casals & Associates provide initial rapid response capabilities in emergencies, world-class post-conflict and transition programs, and sustainable solutions for long-term development, with an emphasis on building local capacity. Our unique delivery model, combined with our extensive global infrastructure, gives us the agility and flexibility to rapidly integrate any or all of our solutions as needed – any time, anywhere in the world.
Our services to both governments and private industry are characterized by a great deal of technical and administrative innovation, including DynInsight, our Web-based enterprise information system, which helps customers manage everything from supply chains, inventory, and work flow to internal communications and administrative support.
DynCorp International has a highly efficient global recruiting network that can quickly assemble diverse teams of skilled professionals and technicians worldwide.
