Agility welcomes the opportunity to clear its name by having an impartial jury examine its work supplying food to U.S. forces in Iraq and Kuwait.

From 2003 to 2010, Agility operated under the most dangerous conditions to provide American troops with plentiful, high-quality food. No military has ever been as well fed in a time of conflict.

Agility was open, transparent and accountable to the U.S. government, which approved its prices, suppliers and business practices for seven years -- and continued to approve them even after the company was indicted. Agility received some of the highest U.S. government audit scores ever given to a contractor. By key industry benchmarks, Agility outperformed companies that work in the U.S. domestic food-service industry.

Agility delivered unparalleled value for American taxpayers. It eliminated the need for an additional 3,000 to 5,000 uniformed troops in theater. It built a supply chain that extended 1,000 miles through a warzone, assuming all risk for inventory, infrastructure and equipment, and absorbing millions in losses for damaged vehicles and lost cargo. Thirty-three Agility employees were killed and 262 wounded in performance of their jobs. 

In bringing this case, the U.S. Department of Justice has criminalized what is, at most, a civil contract dispute. Agility, as it has stated for nearly two years, remains open to a resolution of the case, but its focus is now on bringing the facts to light before a jury.
