Since DynCorp's beginning in 1946, we have striven to make our Company not only the very best from the standpoint of the services we perform…but also a leader in business ethics.

When a customer selects us for a project, out technical competence and past experience are currently critical, but our ethical standards are important, too. Customers require a commitment to honesty in business dealings. And as a professional service Company, ethics and honesty necessarily come down to our people-our fellow employees who every day make decisions and take actions that can impact our customers.

We have a tradition in DynCorp of dealing with one another and with our customers, suppliers and others in a fair and honest fashion. As a corporation, we abide by the laws of the United States and foreign countries where we may be engaging in business activities.

In many ways, this statement of our business ethics is nothing more than good common sense. Basically speaking, we follow the rules.

Our business is becoming more and more difficult and challenging to manage. New laws, competition, budgetary constraints, technological innovations, business re-engineering, and the globalization of business in general make pursuit of profits even more demanding that in the past.

These increasing demands serve to highlight the importance of business ethics. Cutting corners to obtain or retain business is not the DynCorp way. Tougher times require an even greater commitment to our Standards of Business Ethics and Conduct.
Part of our responsibility as employee/shareholders is to protect DynCorp from allegations of wrongdoing. This is how we protect and preserve our right to continue in business.

And don't forget: DynCorp is what it is today because of it's steadfast adherence of these principles and policies. You are encouraged to confer with our corporate attorneys regarding specific concerns that you may have regarding a particular compliance issue. We need to guarantee the future with a renewed commitment to sound business ethics.
