The OPTARSS contract assists the Army in providing services and support throughout the United States in 12 major task areas. These include project management services to help run Army installations and combat training centers, planning and execution of troop mobilization, training services for everything from databases to weapon systems, and anti-terrorist assessments and force protection training for Army installations. CACI offers FORSCOM the benefits of its significant expertise in all OPTARSS task areas, as well as in-depth familiarity with the FORSCOM mission and environment. CACI currently provides support to FORSCOM Headquarters at Fort McPherson and has personnel located at Fort Hood and Fort Lewis, where thousands of FORSCOM personnel are located. CACI also leads a team of OPTARSS subcon tractors with a comprehensive solution set that assures FORSCOM of complete capabilities for every requirement.

The Operations, Planning, Training, and Resource Support Services contract enables us to expand our ongoing support for FORSCOM and provides greater opportunities for us to offer high-quality, in-demand solutions for all Army organizations."
