Cubic Global Defense has received a contract from the US Army Contracting Command to continue to support rotational and pre-deployment training exercises at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) in Fort Polk, Louisiana.
Under the contract worth more than $52m, Cubic will assist JRTC's integration with the US and allied forces into rotational training exercises through scenarios focused on decisive action and theatre-specific operational environments, such as situational training, live fire, force-on-force and integrated live, virtual and constructive (LVC) training.
