The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) awarded Herndon, VA-based Mission Essential, LLC, a contract to provide critical linguist support to U.S. Armed Forces in the Republic of Kosovo, the company announced in late February.
The contract will support USAREUR armed forces deployed as a part of a multinational brigade peacekeeping force, under the Kosovo Force (KFOR).

This award continues our strong and long-standing partnership with the United States European Command.”
The company will staff linguist positions placed at three main operating bases throughout Kosovo.
