URS Corporation

URS is a leader in military flight training, providing rotary and fixed-wing flight training at installations throughout the country. Our flight training programs encompass undergraduate flight training for U.S. Air Force and allied pilots, as well as training of all undergraduate U.S. Army helicopter pilots at Fort Rucker, Alabama. More than 400 URS instructors provide rotary-flight training to approximately 1,200 men and women annually at Fort Rucker. Since 1989, we have led more than 20,000 Army, Air Force and allied student pilots through months of intensive instruction in basic, instrument and war-fighting flight skills to become top military aviators. In addition, URS conducts numerous graduate-level programs.

At Sheppard Air Force Base, URS performs simulator and academic instruction, as well as curriculum development, for undergraduate fighter pilots from all branches of the U.S. military, as well as the Euro-NATO alliance. With more than 500 employees at Sheppard Air Force base—the largest military flight training facility in the United States—URS not only provides flight instructors, but also maintenance personnel for a fleet of 223 aircraft used in the jet pilot training program.

URS also provides chemical agent training at the Chemical Defense Training Facility at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. We work closely with the U.S. Army to ensure that soldiers are successfully trained in the detection, identification and decontamination of toxic nerve agents. The facility also trains Marine, Navy, Air Force and other allied service men and women on operations in a toxic chemical environment.
