Company will train over 500,000 U.S. soldiers globally
FALLS CHURCH, Va. – General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), announced today that it was awarded two training support services task orders totaling $330 million by the Army Contracting Command -- Orlando. The task orders, awarded in August 2024, are part of the $975 million Mission Training Complex Capabilities Support II (MTCCS) indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract.
Mission training complexes are where soldiers and entire units receive simulation training in preparation for deployment. Under the first task order, valued at $180 million, GDIT will train soldiers across the U.S. Army Pacific mission training complexes. This task order has a one-year base period with four option years. The company will also provide training services at the XVIII Airborne Corps mission training complexes through a second task order valued at $150 million, which includes a five-year base period and six option months.
Over the life of these two programs, GDIT will train more than 500,000 soldiers through live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) environments – immersive exercises that simulate complex scenarios to strengthen warfighting readiness. Additionally, the company will deliver logistical and technical support.
“Advanced training capabilities are critical to maintaining warfighter superiority,” said Brian Sheridan, GDIT’s senior vice president for Defense. “We look forward to continuing our long-standing support to the Army with modern training services that will meet the demands of a constantly evolving battlefield environment.”
These two task orders further expand the company’s training support services across the Department of Defense.

Last year, the company was awarded a $1.7 billion Flight School Training contract to support the U.S. Army and a $383 million Navy Training contract.
