Valiant Integrated Services of Herndon, VA announced on July 19 that the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) has awarded the company a $215 million task order under the Department of Defense Language Interpretation and Translation Enterprise II (DLITE II). Under this task order, Valiant will provide essential interpretation, translation, transcription, and other linguist services for the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) area of operation.
