Awarded under the operations, planning, training and resource support services (OPTARSS II) contract vehicle, the deal is valued at $31m and includes a one-year base performance period and two option years.

CACI president and chief executive officer Dan Allen said the contract would boost the company’s training capabilities and also expand its activities in command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) market.

"It is a strong demonstration of our success in pursuing new business that aligns with our nation’s highest priorities; in this case, assuring mission readiness for our armed forces."

CACI chief operating officer and US Operations president John Mengucci said the company would support the MCTS programme based on its 50-year experience in delivering modelling and simulation solutions for the Department of Defense (DoD) and US forces.

Previously known as the battle command training programme, MCTP provides combined arms training for Brigade Combat Teams, Divisions, Corps, Army Service Component Commands (ASCC), Joint Force Land Component Commander (JFLCC) and joint task forces (JTFs) in a relevant operational environment worldwide.

As federal reserve force of the US Army, the USARC is headquartered at Fort Bragg, and oversees staffing, training, management, mobilisation and deployment of all army reserve troop units in the US to ensure readiness for combat missions.
