STERLING HEIGHTS -- General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, has been awarded a $9.9 million contract to upgrade military vehicles for the U.S. Army. The contract was awarded by the Army Contracting Command in Warren, Mich.

The work will be managed by the newly established General Dynamics Land Systems Combat Support and Sustainment business.

"This award to provide combat support and sustainment reflects the confidence our customers have in the General Dynamics Land Systems team," said H. A. "Graz" Graziano, vice president of Combat Support and Sustainment for General Dynamics Land Systems. "The award has special significance in that it underscores the Army's confidence in our ability to continue to provide worldwide, world-class support to the vital mission of U.S. Warfighters."

General Dynamics employees currently provide vehicle support to military customers around the world. Combat Support and Sustainment's field service representatives repair and retrofit vehicles in garrison and in theatre to ensure optimal vehicle performance. Existing support and sustainment employees will perform this work, which will be completed by May 2013.
