RESTON, Va., Oct. 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — The Raytheon-led (NYSE: RTN)
Warrior Training Alliance (WTA) has supported about 1.5 million exercises
at more than 400 locations worldwide since the start of the Warfighter
Field Operations Customer Support (FOCUS) program in May.

Training support has been provided to members of all U.S. services and
some coalition partners. The WTA’s work to integrate the U.S. Army’s live,
virtual and constructive training domains began on May 1, 2008, following a
transition period. Raytheon was awarded the Warfighter FOCUS contract last
year.

“We have also processed 1,500 task orders on the contract which
demonstrates our ability to immediately meet the needs of our customers,”
said Mike Edwards, WTA and Raytheon Technical Services Company (RTSC) vice
president.

To support the Warfighter FOCUS program, Raytheon has expanded its
presence in Southern Arizona with the opening of an office at the U.S. Army
Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca, and has also opened the Warfighter
Support Center — the WTA’s depot facility — in Louisville, Kentucky.

Warfighter FOCUS is a U.S. Army program under the Program Executive
Office for Training, Simulation and Instrumentation to consolidate
operations and maintenance, systems integration and engineering support
services for the Army’s live, virtual and constructive training systems.

The Raytheon-led Warrior Training Alliance includes major teammates
Computer Sciences Corporation, General Dynamics Information Technology,
MPRI and more than 100 other companies. These industry leaders in training
bring proven, current and relevant experience across all training
environments, including live, virtual and constructive. With a combined
