Under the terms of the contract, KBR, alongside SRI, will provide Master Resilience Trainers at Army Ready and Resilience (R2) Centers to enhance the well-being and performance of soldiers, their families, Army civilians, Department of Defense (DoD) staff, R2 contractors, related government agencies, and allied forces. KBR will support Army facilities in fostering key personal skills like self-awareness, optimism, and mental agility. This effort aims to boost service members’ cognitive and physical abilities, mitigate psychological issues, and bolster their readiness for deployment.
“This contract represents a significant step forward in our commitment to the well-being of our soldiers and their families,” said Mark Kavanaugh, KBR President, Defense, Intel and Space. “With KBR and SRI’s expertise, we will enhance the resilience and readiness of our forces, ensuring they are mentally and physically prepared for the challenges ahead. This initiative is not just an investment in our military—it’s an investment in the strength and security of our nation.”
This strategic win comes on the heels of two recent DoD healthcare market contracts, SPARC and MQS2. It builds on KBR’s established prime contracts for NASA astronaut readiness through HHPC and U.S. Special Operations Forces’ resilience via the POTFF program.
