SAN DIEGO, Oct. 19 (UPI) — A Boeing subsidiary has been selected by the US Department of Defense to conduct training exercises for the US Army in Europe.
The five-year, $59 million contract to Tapestry Solutions is to design, plan and conduct exercises ranging from Army unit-level activities to large-scale events involving multinational forces, such as the European Commands annual Austere Challenge.
Tapestry, as prime contractor, leads a team that includes SAIC of McLean, Va., and Capstone Corp. and Metro Productions, both of Alexandria, Va.
While the Tapestry team has broad experiences across the training domain, this contract gives us a focused opportunity to demonstrate leadership and continued quality service as we help the (Defense Department) evolve the live, virtual and constructive training domains while addressing todays threats and fiscal realities, said Sam DeFord, Tapestry chief executive officer and president.
The contract calls for the Tapestry team to provide support to the Joint Multinational Simulation Center in Grafenwoehr, Germany, and to its satellites in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and Vicenza, Italy.
Tapestry also will support the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany, as that center prepares US and multinational brigade combat teams for missions under the US Armys Combat Training Center program.
Tapestry will also supply and coordinate training capability for the Joint Multinational Training Commands Multinational Mission Command Training program as part of US European Commands engagement plan with countries across the European Area of Operational Responsibility.
