Navistar International Corp. has won a contract from the U.S. Marine Corps for $68.8 million to provide field service support for the Marine Corps' International MaxxPro mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles.

The contract builds on a $71.5 million contract awarded in September to provide parts support for the Marine Corps' International MaxxPro MRAP vehicles. Navistar has been awarded more than $1 billion in total contracts for Navistar to deliver 2,971 MaxxPro units to the Marine Corps and already has more than a dozen people on the ground in the Iraq theater to provide training and field support. The MaxxPro is designed to protect troops from roadside bombs, improvised explosive devices and other threats.
"This contract award is another example of our track record for providing parts to support our military vehicles," said Daniel C. Ustian, Navistar's chairman, president and chief executive officer.
In addition to its parts and service contracts, Navistar has established dealerships in Iraq and Afghanistan.
