BTG Nations' Special Operations Forces Contract Extended for Third Year.


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 1999--BTG, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTGI), an information systems and engineering services company, announced that its Nations Division has been awarded the third year of a $3.6 million contract to support the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF ARSOF - Army Special Operations Forces) Simulation Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

BTG's Nations Division supports the ARSOF Simulation Center, which provides realistic exercises to train Army personnel. As part of the contract, BTG will provide support this year to the Army's 7th Special Forces Group in exercises to test emerging digital systems designed to enhance command and control in battlefield situations.

"These exercises are among the most significant events to occur this year in the Special Operations community," said Ken McMullin, BTG Training, Education and Military Operations Analyst in the ARSOF Simulation Center. "What we are doing will have a real impact on the future of the Army Special Operations community." McMullin said BTG uses training, database management, systems integration, networking, and systems administration in direct support of Special Operations Forces.

Group Vice President Jim Holly, Director of BTG's Nations Division, said the award of the third year is based on the company's past performance. "Our customers appreciate the outstanding service and support we deliver, our dedication to the success of their mission, and our commitment to do whatever is necessary to satisfy their requirements. Our staff is comprised primarily of people with Special Forces training and combat experience, so we can live and operate with our customers in a field environment. We focus on the practical rather than the theoretical because our customer is the soldier in the field. We are proud to have the opportunity to continue our work with the ARSOF Simulation Center."

The Nations Division is part of BTG's Engineering Solutions Group, which specializes in information operations, modeling and simulation, network security, and airborne reconnaissance.
