Overall, CACI through the task order will support the command in mission execution improvement, lower costs and minimise operational risks.

CACI executive chairman and chairman of the board Dr JP London said: “CACI is ready to support all of our national security customers, including AFRICOM, in their missions of protecting and advancing US interests at home and abroad.”

Work under the contract will be carried out by CACI experts at AFRICOM headquarters in Germany and across Africa.

The company will leverage its professional, technical, and theatre expertise to deliver the work in this task order. It has experience in executing similar military support programmes.

CACI president and CEO John Mengucci said: “This contract represents new business for our company with a new customer, demonstrating CACI is prepared to support US service members around the globe.”

In September 2019, CACI secured a task order of $197m to support the critical surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for the US Army.
