Eagle Systems and Services, Inc. (Eagle Systems), a Lawton-based government contractor, started its first annual “Operation: Give Back” project at the Robert E. Greiner School for the Handicapped in Lawton on Thursday, December 8, 2011. The Greiner School has been operating in the same building for the last 45 years, and administrators had launched an operation of their own, called “Help, Donate, Serve,” to make repairs and improve classrooms.

Eagle Systems employees began by fabricating an awning over the entry door to keep leaves and weather away from students, repairing ceilings, repainting the front eaves and setting up the school’s outdoor Christmas decorations. After assisting teachers and administrators organize classrooms and the Greiner Thrift Store, Eagle Systems employees prepared angel costumes for the school’s Christmas program to be held December 15.

Later in the day, the employees threw a Christmas party for the students where each student received a bag filled with healthy treats and small educational toys.

Located at 10 SE B Avenue in Lawton, the Robert E. Greiner School for the Handicapped focuses on instruction for adults with disabilities. The school provides educational classes including basic reading, writing, math, personal hygiene, cooking, music and physical education.

For more information about volunteering, donating items, or enrolling a student at the Greiner School, call Lou Whiteley at (580) 355-5834.

In September 2011, Eagle Systems won four task orders on the Army’s Operations, Planning, Training and Resource Support Services II (OPTARSS II) Multiple Award Task Order contract.

Eagle Systems will provide instructor support for the Non-Commissioned Officer’s Academy at Fort Benning, Georgia, in the areas of Doctrine and Training Analysis, Maneuver Senior Leader Course, and the Advance Leader’s Resident Course, as well as conducting Advance Leader’s Course Mobile Training Teams. Our personnel will support the Academy in the areas of leadership, maintenance, training management, war fighting skills, Table of Organization & Equipment (TO&E), Table of Distribution Allowance (TDA) units, duties, responsibilities, and authority, while also providing MOS-specific training to ALC Sergeants and Staff Sergeants.

In additional support of the Maneuver Center of Excellence mission at Fort Benning, Eagle Systems will provide personnel for Post-Combat Survey Support. Receiving and analyzing comments from all areas of U.S. Army DOTMLPF (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership & Education, Personnel, and Facilities), our personnel will develop and execute surveys, store and document the results, and analyze and summarize the resulting data. Our efforts to expedite the collection and analysis of data will enable improvement and progress within the areas most needed by the Soldier.

Eagle Systems will also provide instructor support services for the U.S. Army Infantry Center/School Ranger Training Brigade, supporting the 4th Ranger Training Battalion for Ranger Training School and the Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course, programs identified by the Army as essential to modularity, transformation, and future force employment and success abroad. Our personnel will provide instruction and doctrine analysis in the areas of Ranger Instructor Certification Program, Communications, and Intelligence.

Fundamental to the “Army Learning Concept 2015” is the implementation of technology into the Army’s current Program of Instruction. In support of the Directorate of Training and Doctrine at the Maneuver Center of Excellence, Eagle Systems will provide Emerging Technologies and Digital Leaning Content development services. Eagle Systems personnel will design, develop, and implement mobile training applications (apps) with various levels of complexity as well as 3-Dimensional Interactive Multimedia instruction (3D IMI) programs.

With over 25 years of training experience, Eagle Systems is excited to be expanding as well as strengthening our training capabilities, and we are eager to be on the leading edge of the Emerging Technologies transition within the Army as we continue to deliver Beyond Client Satisfaction service in both classroom and digital interactive multimedia instruction.

Eagle Systems was selected the 2010 National Large Employer of Veterans Award by The American Legion. The award will be presented at The American Legion National Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, August 28-31, 2011.

The purpose of the award is to recognize businesses with outstanding records in the hiring and retention of Veterans. The National Economic Commission of The American Legion expanded its Employer Awards Program in 1969 when it created an award category for employers of veterans. Each year, three categories receive nomination for this award: small company (50 or fewer employees), medium-sized company (51-200 employees), and large company (201 or more employees).

The selection of the awards is made by the National Economic Commission Award Subcommittee based on the following criteria: at least ten percent of the nominee’s workforce must be Veterans; the nominee must not be a city, state, or federal employer; the nominee cannot restrict employment to Veterans only; and the nominee must have been in business for at least five years.

Prior to being selected as the National recipient of this award, Eagle Systems was awarded The American Legion Employer of the Year for the state of Georgia. The Department of Georgia Convention will be held at the Dalton Convention Center in Dalton, Georgia, and the presentation of the award will occur on June 24, 2011, at 10 a.m.

Eagle Systems is privileged and proud to be a career destination for Military Veterans.

Eagle Systems was one of 22 small businesses named to the Army’s $2.5 billion Operations, Planning, Training and Resource Support Services II (OPTARSS II) prime contract. OPTARSS II is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, multiple-award contract from the U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command Center at Fort McPherson, Georgia. Additionally, the OPTARSS II contract can be used not only by the Army, but may also be extended to other Department of Defense (DoD) and Non-DoD agencies. One of the benefits of the OPTARSS II contract is the ability to offer maximum flexibility in providing an expedited ordering process. This flexibility equates to a fast turnaround on task orders because a pre-qualified group of prime contractors has already been established.

As one of the vendors named to the Small Business Suite, Eagle Systems has the opportunity to respond to task order requests that cover eight different task areas: operational planning, training, modeling and simulation, flight operations, mobilization planning and execution, deployment operations, force protection, and transformation. Our exceptional past performance combined with the counsel from our advisory board of senior level retired Army personnel certainly puts Eagle Systems in a position for success in the coming task orders.

On June 3, 2011, Eagle Systems partner Tec-Masters Inc. (TMI) received an award for the Systems, Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contract at Fort Sill Fires Center of Excellence. This multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract provides the customer the flexibility and quick availability of expertise without the expense and commitment of long-term staff. Awarded by the Army Contracting Command, MICC Fort Eustis, Virginia, the SETA contract will be a great opportunity to apply and develop our core areas of competence and our training expertise close to home.

Eagle Systems has been performing work on this contract for the past five years, and as one of the vendors named to the SETA contract, Eagle Systems has the opportunity to participate and respond to SETA task order requests in the following areas:

• Concept, Doctrine, Training and Organizational Development

• Experimentation

• Studies and Analysis

• Models and Simulations

• Test and Evaluation

• Science and Technology

• Material Requirements

• Operational Environment

Our familiarity with the task areas combined with our exceptional past performance will make Eagle Systems a fierce contender for the coming task orders.
