Lockheed Martin’s SOFSA CLS programme director and general manager, John Surdo said that the first priority was to ensure a seamless transition of services to Lockheed so that the warfighter would not miss a beat.

“We have a robust transition plan already in motion. Once the transition is underway, we’ll partner with SOFSA to implement a continuous improvement programme that will streamline and transform logistics and business operations, helping provide even more effective and efficient support to the warfighter,” Surdo said.

SOFSA CLS has three primary components: aircraft, vehicle and equipment maintenance, critical infrastructure support, and business process transformation.
