Boeing Tactical Aircraft and Weapons Support vice-president Julie Praiss said: "Warfighters executing their missions rely on their systems being ready when they need them.

The first $293m contract required Boeing to supply aircraft parts and support the AH-64, AV-8, B-1, B-52, C-17, CH-47, E-3, E-6, F-15, F/A-18 and KC-135 and ground support equipment, enabling the DLA to provide essential logistics support to soldiers more quickly and effectively.
