Creating the Potential for Stability in Afghanistan
Mondo International, Inc. outlines the need for
proactive companies to create viable solutions for the U.S. Government to act
on in order to stabilize Afghanistan and protect coalition forces.
WASHINGTON, DC, -- As the US
Government prepares to expand and refocus it’s efforts in Afghanistan, U.S.
Department of Defense contractor Mondo International, Inc. believes proactive
transportation, logistics and distribution companies working in the region will
provide the necessary options for the U.S. to succeed.
“We are now at the threshold
where forward thinking companies are needed to pave the way to create viable
solutions for the US Government and USTRANSCOM to act on. No longer theoretical
options, established infrastructure, procedures and relationships will provide
the stability to make decisive action that can turn results in the field,” says
Kevin R. Curtis, Senior Vice President of Mondo International, Inc., a
worldwide organization that provides logistics, distribution, transportation,
warehousing and other services across the globe, specifically in war zones.
Mondo is currently a designated Prime Vendor for the U.S. Department of Defense
and Defense Logistics Agency and operates over 600 trucks in Afghanistan.
According to the U.S.
Government, the mission in Afghanistan is to help stabilize the country and its
government, as well as to root out the Taliban and their insurgency. To achieve
these goals, military and diplomatic objectives are to be carried out in the
face of many challenges in transportation, supply, logistics and distribution. Challenges
include a rapid troop increase with a choked NATO supply route along the Khyber
Pass and countless insurgent attacks that prevent necessary fuel and supplies
from being delivered to coalition forces. “As the U.S. looks for solutions,
Commanders on the ground will undoubtedly remark “That’s a plausible idea, but
is the infrastructure in place?” The reality is that companies in this line of
work have to be innovative and commit to creating the potential for success. It
is incumbent upon organizations like Mondo to provide the ability to answer
“Yes” the infrastructure is ready, it is a viable option,” says Curtis.
Mondo International, Inc has
been a part of this forward thinking in preparing their capabilities for the U.S.
Government to act on. These efforts include seeking a new Northern Distribution
Network with military supply lines through Central Asian into Afghanistan.
Mondo seeks opportunities using their well connected partners with an excellent
network of trustworthy, in-country relationships and highly placed contacts
within the local or national governments in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. The
move will also displace the southern stronghold the Taliban insurgents
currently hold.
Mondo is also in-part,
responsible for finding solutions to deliver critical fuel to support aviation
and other transport vehicles. Mondo is a participant in the three phase
expansion of Camp Sharana, Afghanistan to regulate supply and demand by finding
new suppliers, a new fuel storage facility and a massive pipeline to eliminate
shortages and help regulate costs.
“You have to somewhat
forecast the future and posture your company to fill the needs accordingly. That
is what Mondo International is committed to, proving options that have not
existed before. The geopolitical dynamics are so strong and delicate right now;
it’s imperative that we listen to the policy, logic and posture of the
administration and mirror our support operations in that fashion,” says Curtis.
Mondo believes these and other proactive companies working in tandem will
better serve U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan and ensure a successful
strategic plan to stabilize Afghanistan.
