Marines to expand IT centers

By

Help desk representatives assist callers computer issues at a new complex containing the Marine Air Ground Task Force Information Technology Support Center, known as MITSC or the MAGTF IT Support Center, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Jan. 7. Civilians and Marines alike work at the facilities.

SAIC has been awarded a $64 million contract to build and upgrade Marine Corps IT centers.

The project includes a refresh for the existing Enterprise IT Center (EITC1) and technical assistance center at the Marine Corps Information Technology Center in Kansas City, Missouri, and the construction of a new center at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.

The work is scheduled to be completed by June 2017. The contract was awarded by Marine Corps Systems Command.
