The company is also providing training and field service representatives to support Iraq’s fielding of the M88A2 vehicles.
BAE Systems Readiness and Sustainment business vice-president Robert Houston said, “The training and support we are providing will give Iraqi soldiers the knowledge and confidence they need to operate this US equipment.”

Work on the contract will be carried out in Iraq.
