RESTON, VA – For the third consecutive term, SOS International (SOSi) was awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force 376th Air Expeditionary Wing (AEW) to provide local facilitation and technical interpretation/translation services to Air Force personnel at Manas Airbase in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. This five-year contract is a follow-on to a contract that was first awarded to SOSi in 2005, and re-awarded to SOSi in 2007. SOSi employs more than 40 full-time personnel and provides support across all of the functional sections of the command from air traffic control to public affairs.

The Air Force remains one of our cornerstone clients, and we look forward to maintaining our relationship with the 376th AEW." Mr. Furusho went on to say, "I think our work speaks for itself. SOSi has maintained exemplary performance on this program, which has evolved in both complexity and scope over the past five years. This win is directly attributable to the hard work of our team in Kyrgyzstan."
