“The current events on the Korean peninsula highlight even more the criticality of the NEO Tracking System,” said STG Chairman and CEO Simon Lee. “Growth in the Pacific Theater of Operations has been a long-time goal of STG. This partnership with the Eighth Army succeeds in assuring we are part of fully supporting their ‘fight tonight mission.’”
The company will deliver the range of services necessary to support the operations, maintenance, and sustainment of the NEO Tracking System and provide associated user training, it said in a statement.
STG brings to this effort the technical knowledge, resources, and surge capability to meet the expectations of all stakeholders, the company said in a statement. STG also has the management processes in place to deliver the range of services necessary to support the operations, maintenance, and sustainment of the NEO Tracking System and provide associated user training.
Bob Phoebus, STG senior vice president of Business Development and Strategic Planning, said: “STG recognizes the paramount importance and ‘no-fail’ mission of Eighth U.S. Army’s NEO Tracking System,” said “In November 2010, the bombardment of Yeonpyeong caused widespread damage and an escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula. The importance of the NEO Tracking System readiness is a real world mission to support personnel and families displaced and affected by tragic events.”
