412th CSB/PARC

Mission Statement

In January the 412th Contracting Support Brigade, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in partnership with the 408th CSB, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, tasked the 900th Contingency Contracting Battalion, Fort Bragg, N.C., to support the U.S. Army Central Eager Light exercise 10-01. The Eager Light exercise is a U.S. Central Command directed Third Army/ARCENT executed, biennial training exercise in the country of Jordan. It is a joint coalition exercise, which provides U.S. and Jordanian armed forces with brigade level battle staff training. The training presents unique contracting support challenges that were overcome through a shared vision between the key stakeholders of ARCENT, the U.S. Embassy and the tasked leaders from the 608th and 619th Contingency Contracting Teams from Fort Drum, N.Y. A shared vision in exercise contracting support enabled mission accomplishment for all stakeholders.
