Working in Remote, Austere and Hostile Environments

Power lines span road flanked with t-walls

Berger/Cummins has a proven history of successful project implementation in hostile environments worldwide, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya and Southern Sudan. Our two companies have a staunch commitment to our clients and to successfully performing the toughest jobs and going where no one else will. In the critical and challenging environments of Iraq and Afghanistan in particular, our team has a documented track record of supporting the US Government mission by designing, constructing, or managing the design and installation of critical prime power projects both on and off US Military installations. We use both partners' global infrastructure, distribution, and technical support networks to provide unprecedented responsiveness in the assessment, delivery, and O&M of genset equipment where and when required. We have pre-screened staff ready to mobilize for overseas assignment at a moment's notice and a demonstrated ability to surge and quickly deploy forces.

Iraq and Afghanistan

Berger/Cummins, supported by Dubai-based Cummins Middle East, has well-established management logistics and support infrastructure in place in Afghanistan and Iraq. We understand how to ensure personnel, equipment and supplies from around the world, as well as in-country, make it to the right location at the right time, by anticipating and mitigating schedule risks such as security, extremes in climate and geography, and long lines of communications. We are familiar with Afghan and Iraqi firms as well as other foreign firms working in the region. We have access to, and experience in, obtaining air support to move personnel and supplies between various locations in-country, most notably when the roads are too dangerous to travel. Depending on unique cargo demands and client timelines, Berger/Cummins is capable of quickly air freighting equipment into austere locations in-country, as well as obtaining the necessary private security to line haul goods within active combat zones and high-risk, harsh environments.
