ManTech Receives the Department of Defense Cogswell Award for Maintaining Excellent Security at a Cleared Facility
ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq:MANT) announced that it
has been awarded the James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security
Achievement Award for 2007 from the Defense Security Service (DSS). The
Cogswell award is the most "prestigious”
honor that DSS awards to a cleared facility and it is presented annually
to companies that focus on industrial security excellence and maintain
security programs that go beyond National Industrial Security Program
requirements.
ManTech was one of 30 companies to receive an award and was selected in
a "rigorous” process
that reviewed approximately 12,000 cleared contractor facilities
supported by DSS. Facilities considered for the award must have a
minimum of two consecutive superior industrial security review ratings
and show a "sustained degree of excellence and
innovation in their overall security program management, implementation
and oversight,” according to DSS.
The ManTech facility in Panama City, FL, which supports advanced
acoustics efforts for the U.S. Navy, received the Cogswell award. Cheryl
Myers, Facility Security Officer, ManTech Systems Engineering
Corporation, oversees the security operations at the Panama City
location.
"My congratulations to Cheryl and the team in
Panama City,” said Joyce Weymouth, Corporate
Vice President of Security, ManTech International Corporation. "We
support the tremendous dedication and commitment it took to maintain a
security program to meet the extensive requirements for this award.
Security is critical to our country and our customers and ManTech
understands the important role security plays in the defense of our
nation.”
The Cogswell award, established in 1966, is named in honor of the late
Air Force Col. James S. Cogswell, who was the first chief of the unified
office of industrial security within the Department of Defense. "Col.
Cogswell was responsible for developing the basic principles of the
Industrial Security Program, which include an emphasis on the
partnership between industry and government to protect classified
information, which ultimately helps to ensure the protection of the U.S.
fighter,” according to DSS.
The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence provides authority,
direction and control over DSS, which provides the military services,
defense agencies, 23 federal agencies and approximately 12,000 cleared
contractor facilities with security support services.
