ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading government
services firms PAE and Vectrus Systems Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE: VEC), have
announced the creation of a joint venture partnership - PAE Vectrus - to pursue the U.S. Army's Logistics Civil Augmentation
Program V (LOGCAP V) contract vehicle. Scott Welker, a distinguished former Senior Executive
Services leader, will serve as president of the joint venture. Before joining PAE Vectrus, Mr. Welker served as the deputy to the
commander of Joint Munitions Command Headquarters at Rock Island Arsenal, Ill., and prior to that served as the deputy to the
commander for the Army Sustainment Command in Rock Island.
"PAE Vectrus offers decades of experience supporting international contingency missions," said Mr. Welker. "With
forward-deployed operations on all seven continents, the team can quickly mobilize its existing local workforce in any area of
operation and leverage a robust international supply chain to respond rapidly to any requirement."
"PAE's experience supporting contractor augmentation programs spans over 40 years, since before the naming convention
existed," said PAE CEO John Heller. "In the 1970s, PAE employed approximately 30,000 personnel in
Southeast Asia to support the requirements of the U.S. government. Since that time, we've held
leading roles on CANCAP, AFRICAP and AFCAP, and we look forward to combining that experience with Vectrus to fully support the
LOGCAP V requirements."
"Vectrus has been a leading services provider for U.S. Government agencies in tough environments like the Middle East, Antarctica, Asia and above
the Arctic Circle for more than 70 years," said Vectrus CEO and President Ken Hunzeker. "Our
experience with the military services in CAP and CAP-like efforts is well-documented and robust. We are pleased to partner with
PAE on this important and strategic pursuit."
PAE Vectrus offerings will be available for review and discussion in booth #2003 at the Association of the U.S. Army annual
meeting and exposition.
