DynCorp International’s (DI) Afghanistan Life Support Services (ALiSS) Food Service team in Kabul recently hosted a successful series of U.S. Independence Day events this July.
On the evening of July 3, a “New Orleans” themed gala and cake ceremony was held for Afghan officials, Ambassadors, military personnel and citizens from other nations. The cake, which celebrated the United States’ 241st birthday and which weighed a whopping 164 lbs., was cut with a sword by the Marines. On July 4, DI hosted a breakfast for a U.S. Congressional Delegation and then later a BBQ dinner for the Embassy community.
Back in November 2016, DynCorp International (DI) won the Davis-Monthan Contract Field Team (CFT) task order on the U.S.Air Force CFT program at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (AFB) in Tucson, Arizona. With this task order, DI is maintaining the 357th Aircraft Maintenance Unit’s A-10 fighters while the previous active duty maintainers transition to the F-35. By transitioning from Airmen to DI professionals, this ensures the Air Force continues to train its new A-10 pilots while freeing up crucial maintainers for the new fighters.
On June 1, DynCorp International (DI) employees Doug Eller and Bubba White attended the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) annual awards ceremony at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. DI sponsors and presents the Non-Rated Crewmember (NRCM) of the Year award each year. This year it was awarded to SGT Vincent Anastasi, B Company, 4th Battalion, 160th Aviation Regiment. Throughout 2016, SGT Anastasi exceeded every standard and expectation put forth by his command as a NRCM and non-commissioned officer (NCO). His skills and ability as a NRCM allowed him to earn all nine qualifications necessary to progress and accelerate to Fully Mission Qualified Flight Engineer in 20 months, exceeding the average progression by six months. In addition, SGT Anastasi earned his airborne wings by balancing both technical and tactical skills along with leadership attributes during a high OPTEMPO with little guidance. SGT Anastasi deserves this award as he without fail shows what a Night Stalker should be as an NCO, Soldier, and NRCM.

On the MD Helicopters’ Contractor Logistics Support (MD530 CLS) program at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, DynCorp International (DI) personnel observed and mentored an Afghan Air Force (AAF) team load two AMD530 light-attack helicopters into a C-130, a large military transport aircraft.
