IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 10, 2012-- Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that the U.S. Army awarded the company a new Task Order to perform work in Africa under the Army’s Logistics Capabilities Program IV (LOGCAP IV). The Task Order is in support of U.S. Africa Command’s mission to protect American interests and strengthen Africa’s defense capabilities in the region. Fluor will book the work into backlog in the first quarter of 2012.

With the new award, Fluor’s scope of work will include delivering logistical support throughout Continental Africa and the simultaneous construction of several remote camps. Fluor will also provide the subsequent camp operations and logistical support services over the next 21 months. Support services will include the provisioning of food, fuel, water, laundry, showers, vehicles, and power generation and maintenance.
