Total force development, from command and control to individual soldier trainingFor more than a quarter century, Vinnell has been an innovative leader in the training and support of international military forces. We provide the full spectrum of developmental services—from training of the individual soldier to the command and staff training of senior military officers. We also provide logistical and maintenance support from unit to depot level and have a proven record of fielding and supporting major weapon systems. Our training activities cover everything from squad- to brigade-level tactical training. We conduct force-on-force exercises using the latest in training technology, including the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES).
In 1975, Vinnell embarked on a precedent-setting project for a civilian firm—the training, logistical support, and complete modernization of the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG), a full-time military force the size of a small army. Vinnell has managed this program from its inception and has successfully trained thousands of soldiers, noncommissioned officers, and officers in individual, technical, and professional skills.
Vinnell saw its training and support activities grow throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Among the corporation’s successes in this area were the Interim Training Center in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and aviation technician training for the Royal Malaysian Air Force. In 1980, we began our involvement with the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF), providing the RSAF with everything from systems analysis to logistics and aeronautical engineering.
When the Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF) decided to field the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, prime contractor FMC Arabia selected Vinnell as the best qualified logistics support contractor for the program. We performed vehicle processing and deprocessing, maintenance and maintenance training, conduct-of-fire-trainer instruction and operation, tactical training from squad to brigade level, and instructor training at the RSLF ordnance and infantry schools. Because of our long and varied experience in the Middle East, we fully understand the unique local requirements and we effectively adjust our training and operational support efforts accordingly.
Vinnell is an industry leader in base operations support. We operate military bases in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, ensuring the highest degree of facilities maintenance and operations. We have a proven record of providing the full spectrum of maintenance and logistics support during wartime and under the most extreme conditions. In Desert Storm, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraqi Freedom, Vinnell provided continuous and superlative operations and maintenance services to our U.S. and foreign customers. From Incirlik, Turkey, to Fort Irwin, California, Vinnell was instrumental in keeping readiness and responsiveness at high levels during times of conflict, We are also adept at assisting with post-war recovery operations and bringing bases and infrastructure back on line rapidly in a culturally sensitive manner.
