DID Announcements: Nov 11-19/08

Nov 09, 2008 22:22 UTC

Their Name Liveth

On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, the guns ceased. During Remembrance Day, British Commonwealth countries remember those who came before, and those who came after, and all who have given in their nation’s service. A number of European countries know it as Armistice Day. Americans celebrate it as Veteran’s Day. Per DID tradition and policy, we remind our readers that we do not publish on that day. We hope you have a meaningful day at the commemorative event of your choice.

The second announcement is that DID’s Editor-in-Chief Joe Katzman will be in the Tucson, AZ area from November 14th-19th. Some briefings with local firms are already scheduled; please email defenseindustrydaily.com if you’d like to discuss (joe@…) other opportunities.

“Following each presidential election, GAO serves as a resource to assist with the transition to a new Congress and administration. Using its institutional knowledge and broad-based, nonpartisan work on matters across the government spectrum, GAO provides insight into, and recommendations for addressing, the nation’s major issues, risks and challenges. Also identified are key reports for further research, as well as contact information for and video messages from GAO experts.”

Our readers might be especially interested in the Department of Defense section. Don’t miss the left sidebar, either, which includes key sub-topics like “Managing Weapon System Programs.”

ATSCC Contracted for American SpecOps Medical Training

SDV Team 1

SDV Team 1

Oct 28/08: Service-Disabled veteran owned small business qualifier Assessment and Training Solutions Consulting Corp. of Virginia Beach, VA received a $26.8 million firm fixed price contract for a base year to provide medical instruction and medical support services in support of U.S. Army Special Forces Command’s Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center and U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s Acquisitions and Contracting Office. The contract has 4 one-year options. Work will be performed at Fort Bragg, NC, and is expected to be complete by July 31/13. This contract was awarded through a small business set-aside (H92239-09-C-0001).

The trainees will have a lot to live up to. The Navy photo above depicts SEAL SDV Team 1, which became the focus of action during Operation Redwing on June 28/05. Lt. Murphy would later earn a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions. A combination of freak circumstances, great personal determination, and the steadfast honor of local Afghan villagers made hospital corpsman Luttrell (highlighted) the only surviving team member. From left to right: Sonar Technician – Surface 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew G. Axelson, 29, of Cupertino, CA; Information Systems Technician Senior Chief (SEAL) Daniel R. Healy, 36, of Exeter, NH; Quartermaster 2nd Class (SEAL) James Suh, 28, of Deerfield Beach, FL; Hospital Corpsman Second Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell; Machinist Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Eric S. Patton, 22, of Boulder City, NV; and LT (SEAL) Michael P. Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, NY.
