Michael W. Butler, senior deputy program manager for DynCorp International's CIVPOL program in Iraq, was killed today near Tikrit when the vehicle in which he was traveling was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade. Mr. Butler was traveling in a five-vehicle military convoy that came under small-arms and IED attack at approximately 9:15 p.m. local time.

?I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mike Butler,? said DynCorp International CEO Herbert J. Lanese. ?He was a fine man, a strong leader, and a courageous individual who had provided outstanding direction and support for our program under very difficult circumstances. We were fortunate to be able to rely on his skill and judgment while he was in Iraq, and we will all miss him very much. On behalf of our entire DynCorp International family, I offer my deepest sympathy to his family at this difficult time.?

Mr. Butler, 53, of Rembert, S.C., was a retired U.S. Air Force colonel. He had 31 years' experience in nearly all aspects of logistics, including supply, maintenance, transportation, contracting, aircraft maintenance, munitions, food service, billeting, and logistics plans. He had been in Iraq since December 2006.

Mr. Butler was a senior manager supporting DynCorp International personnel assigned to the Civilian Police Advisory Training Team (CPATT) ? the component of the U.S. military's Multinational Security Transition Command in Iraq (MNSTC-I).

CPATT is responsible for the U.S.-led effort to train and equip the 135,000-member Iraqi police service. DynCorp International is responsible for recruiting, training, equipping, and supporting the 700-member U.S. contingent of trainers through a contract with the U.S. Department of State.
