	Basis of Presentation
	Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), the parent of DynCorp International Inc., through its subsidiaries (together, "the Company"), provides defense and technical services and government outsourced solutions primarily to U.S. government agencies domestically and internationally. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 1, 2010. Our customers include the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"), the U.S. Department of State ("DoS"), the U.S. Agency for International Development ("USAID"), foreign governments, commercial customers and certain other U.S. federal, state and local government departments and agencies. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to "we," "our," "us," or "the Company" refer to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that all disclosures are adequate and do not make the information presented misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of operations, the statements of comprehensive income and the statements of equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 have been included. The results of operations, the statements of comprehensive income and the statements of equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full calendar year or for any future periods. We use estimates and assumptions required for preparation of the financial statements. The estimates are primarily based on historical experience and business knowledge and are revised as circumstances change. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has investments in joint ventures that are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The VIE investments are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810 — Consolidation. In cases where the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company consolidates the entity. Alternatively, in cases where all of the aforementioned criteria are not met, the investment is accounted for under the equity method.
	We classify our equity method investees in two distinct groups based on management’s day-to-day involvement in the operations of each entity and the nature of each joint venture’s business. If the joint venture is deemed to be an extension of one of our segments and operationally integral to the business, our share of the joint venture’s earnings is reported within operating income in Earnings from equity method investees in the consolidated statement of operations. If the Company considers our involvement less significant, the share of the joint venture’s net earnings is reported in Other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
	Noncontrolling Interests
	We record the impact of our partners' interests in less than wholly owned consolidated joint ventures as noncontrolling interests. Currently, DynCorp International FZ-LLC ("DIFZ") is our only consolidated joint venture for which we do not own 100% of the entity. We hold 25% ownership interest in DIFZ. We continue to consolidate DIFZ as we still exercise power over activities that significantly impact DIFZ’s economic performance and have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of DIFZ that could potentially be significant to DIFZ. Noncontrolling interests is presented on the face of the statements of operations as an increase or reduction in arriving at "Net loss attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc." Noncontrolling interests is located in the equity section on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 for further discussion regarding DIFZ.
	Use of Estimates
	We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period that they are determined.
	The following table presents the aggregate gross favorable and unfavorable adjustments to income before income taxes resulting from changes in contract estimates for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014.
		Three Months Ended
	(Amounts in millions)	27-Mar-15			28-Mar-14

	Net adjustments	$	(2.6	)	$	(1.2	)
	Accounting Policies
	There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Accounting Developments
	In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-01, Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 changes the consolidation guidance to address concerns of stakeholders that current accounting for certain legal entities might require a reporting entity to consolidate another legal entity in situations in which the reporting entity’s contractual rights do not give it the ability to act primarily on its own behalf, the reporting entity does not hold a majority of the legal entity’s voting rights, or the reporting entity is not exposed to a majority of the legal entity’s economic benefits or obligations. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating both methods of adoption as well as the effect ASU 2015-02 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset, consistent with debt discounts. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and required retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on our consolidated financial position.
	Other accounting standards updates effective after March 27, 2015 are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	We have two operating and reporting segments: DynAviation and DynLogistics. DynAviation and DynLogistics provide services domestically and in foreign countries primarily under contracts with the U.S. government. Our current structure includes five reporting units for which we assess goodwill for potential impairment; two reporting units in DynAviation and three reporting units in DynLogistics. Of our five reporting units, only three had a goodwill balance as of March 27, 2015.
	We assess goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in October or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would suggest a triggering event. If a triggering event is identified, a step one assessment is performed to identify any possible impairment in the period in which the event is identified.
	In connection with our annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year, we update our key assumptions, including our forecasts of revenue and income for each reporting unit. There can be no assurance that the revenue estimates and assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows, the period of strength of the U.S. defense spending, and other inputs used in forecasting the present value of forecasted cash flows will prove to be accurate projections of future performance.
	During the third quarter of 2014 and as a result of our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded total impairment charges of approximately $62.2 million to our Aviation reporting unit. Any further declines in performance or other changes in valuation assumptions within this reporting unit in the future could result in a new triggering event and an additional goodwill impairment. Our annual goodwill impairment test concluded that the estimated fair values of each of our remaining reporting units with goodwill balances substantially exceeded their respective carrying values. The projections for these reporting units include significant estimates related to new business opportunities which are the basis for the discount rate assumptions currently applied and we have assessed this risk as one of the variables in establishing the discount rate. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining these opportunities in 2015 or if there are other changes in valuation assumptions within these reporting units, a triggering event could be identified and a step one assessment would be performed to identify any possible goodwill impairment in the period in which the event is identified.
	During the three months ended March 27, 2015, we did not have a triggering event in any of our reporting units.
	The carrying amounts of goodwill for each of our segments as of March 27, 2015 were as follows:
	(Amounts in thousands)	DynAviation				DynLogistics				Total
	Goodwill balance as of December 31, 2014	$	86,795			$	42,093			$	128,888

	During the three months ended March 27, 2015, we made no estimated federal income tax payments. All of our income taxes paid during the three months ended March 27, 2015 were to state or foreign jurisdictions.
	Management assesses both the available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that there will be sufficient sources of future taxable income to recognize deferred tax assets. We incurred cumulative losses over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. Cumulative losses in recent years are considered significant objective negative evidence in evaluating deferred tax assets under the more likely than not criteria for recognition of deferred tax assets. In the first quarter we increased our valuation allowance from $47.8 million as of December 31, 2014 to $54.8 million as of March 27, 2015.
	As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $7.3 million of total unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, of which $2.3 million would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. We anticipate that all $7.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits will be settled in the next twelve months.
	On January 22, 2014, a tax assessment from the Large Tax Office of the Afghanistan Ministry of Finance ("MOF") was received, seeking approximately $64.2 million in taxes and penalties specific to one of our business licenses in Afghanistan for periods between 2009 to 2012. The majority of this assessment was income tax related; however, approximately $10.2 million of the assessed amount is non-income tax related and is discussed further in Note 8. We filed our initial appeal of the assessment on February 19, 2014. In May 2014, the MOF ruled in our favor for the income tax related issue which totaled approximately $54.0 million. We reversed the uncertain tax position related to the dividend withholding issue during the quarter ended June 27, 2014.

	Total accounts receivable, net	$	468,489	$	448,496
	Unbilled receivables as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include $50.8 million and $50.7 million, respectively, related to costs incurred on projects for which we have been requested by the customer to begin new work or extend work under an existing contract and for which formal contracts, contract modifications or other contract actions have not been executed as of the end of the respective periods. Our largest contract, LOGCAP IV, accounted for approximately 57% and 59% of these amounts as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We believe we have legal and contractual basis for these amounts and are working with our customer to complete the contract actions that will allow us to bill and collect our receivables. If we cannot reach an agreement with the customer, we believe we have other avenues to pursue resolution, including the claims process. LOGCAP IV accounted for approximately 21% and 20% of total unbilled receivables as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
	As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had four contract claims with no associated receivable balances. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable immediately upon contract completion or other specified events, all of which are expected to be billed and collected within one year, except items that may result in a request for equitable adjustment or formal claim. We do not believe we have significant exposure to credit risk as our receivables are primarily with the U.S. government.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
	ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
	•	Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
	•	Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
	•	Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, and borrowings. Because of the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the fair value of these instruments approximates the carrying value. Our estimate of the fair value of our long-term debt is based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, as defined above.

	Senior Credit Facility
	On July 7, 2010, we entered into a senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"), with a banking syndicate and Bank of America, NA as Administrative Agent (the "Agent"). On January 21, 2011, August 10, 2011 and June 19, 2013, DynCorp International Inc. entered into amendments to the Senior Credit Facility.
	On November 5, 2014, we entered into a fourth amendment and waiver (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Senior Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, (i) amended the Senior Credit Facility by modifying financial maintenance covenants; (ii) reduced the amount of the Revolver credit commitments of the lenders consenting to the Fourth Amendment by 20%, which represented a reduction of approximately $36.2 million; (iii) amended the definition of Consolidated Net Income as defined in the Senior Credit Facility to exclude up to $35.0 million for a one-time charge during the three month period ended September 26, 2014 related to a certain U.S. Air Force contract; and (iv) waived compliance with the financial maintenance covenants with respect to the three month period ended September 26, 2014.
	The Senior Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries. As of March 27, 2015, the Senior Credit Facility provided for a $187.3 million Term Loan and the $144.8 million Revolver, which includes a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility. As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the available borrowing capacity under the Senior Credit Facility was approximately $106.6 million and $108.1 million, respectively, which includes $38.2 million and $36.7 million, respectively, in issued letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the Revolver are used to fund operations. As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there were no amounts borrowed under the Revolver. The maturity date on both the Term Loan and the Revolver is July 7, 2016.
	Interest Rates on Term Loan & Revolver
	Both the Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at one of two options, based on our election, using either the (i) base rate ("Base Rate") as defined in the Senior Credit Facility plus an applicable margin or the (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate ("Eurocurrency Rate") as defined in the Senior Credit Facility plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan is fixed at 3.5% for the Base Rate option and 4.5% for the Eurocurrency Rate option. The applicable margin for the Revolver ranges from 3.0% to 3.5% for the Base Rate option or 4.0% to 4.5% for the Eurocurrency Rate option based on our Secured Leverage Ratio at the end of the quarter. The Secured Leverage Ratio is calculated by the ratio of total secured consolidated debt (net of up to $75.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Consolidated EBITDA"), as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. Interest payments on both the Term Loan and Revolver are payable at the end of the interest period as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, but not less than quarterly.
	The Base Rate is equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half of one percent and (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its prime rate; provided that in no event shall the Base Rate be less than 1.00% plus the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to one month interest periods on the date of determination of the Base Rate. The variable Base Rate has a floor of 2.75%.
	The Eurocurrency Rate is the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate ("BBA LIBOR") as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) two business days prior to the commencement of such interest period. The variable Eurocurrency Rate has a floor of 1.75%. As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 6.25%.
	Interest Rates on Letter of Credit Subfacility and Unused Commitment Fees
	The letter of credit subfacility bears interest at the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate loans, which ranges from 4.0% to 4.5%. The unused commitment fee on our Revolver ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% depending on the Secured Leverage Ratio. Interest payments on both the letter of credit subfacility and unused commitments are payable quarterly in arrears. The applicable interest rates for our letter of credit subfacility was 4.25% as of each of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The applicable interest rate for our unused commitment fees was 0.50% as of each of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014. All of our letters of credit are also subject to a 0.25% fronting fee.
	Principal Payments
	Pursuant to our Term Loan, quarterly principal payments are required. However, certain principal prepayments made during the year ended December 30, 2011 were applied to the future scheduled maturities and satisfied our responsibility to make quarterly principal payments through July 7, 2016.
	During the three months ended March 27, 2015, we made no principal payments on the Term Loan. During the three months ended March 28, 2014 we made principal prepayments of $15.0 million on the Term Loan. Deferred financing costs associated with the prepayment totaled $0.2 million and were expensed and included in the Loss on early extinguishment of debt in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 28, 2014.
	Our Senior Credit Facility contains an annual requirement to submit a portion of our Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, as additional principal payments. Based on our annual financial results and the additional principal prepayments made during the year ended December 31, 2014, we were not required to make any additional principal payments under the Excess Cash Flow requirement during calendar year 2015. Certain other transactions can trigger mandatory principal payments such as tax refunds, a disposition of a portion of our business or a significant asset sale. We had no such transactions during the three months ended March 27, 2015.
	Covenants
	The Senior Credit Facility contains financial, as well as non-financial, affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary. These covenants, among other things, limit our ability to:
	•	declare dividends and make other distributions;
	•	redeem or repurchase our capital stock;
	•	prepay, redeem or repurchase certain of our indebtedness;
	•	grant liens;
	•	make loans or investments (including acquisitions);
	•	incur additional indebtedness;
	•	modify the terms of certain debt;
	•	restrict dividends from our subsidiaries;
	•	change our business or business of our subsidiaries;
	•	merge or enter into acquisitions;
	•	sell our assets;
	•	enter into transactions with our affiliates; and
	•	make capital expenditures.
	In addition, the Senior Credit Facility contains two financial maintenance covenants, a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
	The total leverage ratio is the Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (up to $75.0 million) to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, for the applicable period.
	The maximum total leverage ratios are set forth below as follows:
	Period Ending	Total Leverage Ratio
	March 27, 2015	6.65 to 1.0
	June 26, 2015	7.70 to 1.0
	September 25, 2015	8.10 to 1.0
	December 31, 2015	7.75 to 1.0
	March 25, 2016	7.60 to 1.0
	June 24, 2016	6.90 to 1.0
	June 25, 2016 and thereafter	6.60 to 1.0
	The interest coverage ratio is the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. Effective with the Fourth Amendment, the interest coverage ratios are set forth below as follows:
	Period Ending	Interest Coverage Ratio
	March 25, 2016	1.15 to 1.0
	June 24, 2016	1.20 to 1.0
	June 25, 2016 and thereafter	1.30 to 1.0
	In the event we fail to comply with the covenants specified in the Senior Credit Facility and the indenture governing our Senior Unsecured Notes, we may be in default. We closely evaluate our expected ability to remain in compliance with our financial maintenance covenants. Based on our current projections, we believe we will be compliant with our financial maintenance covenants for the next twelve months. If unforeseen events were to occur or if our estimates change that would put us in violation of the covenants in those future periods, we would intend to seek to obtain a waiver from our lenders or to amend the terms of our Senior Credit Facility. As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with our financial maintenance covenants.
	Senior Unsecured Notes
	On July 7, 2010, DynCorp International Inc. completed an offering of $455.0 million in aggregate principal of 10.375% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (the "Senior Unsecured Notes"). The initial purchasers were Bank of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued under an indenture dated July 7, 2010 (the "Indenture"), by and among us, the guarantors party thereto (the "Guarantors"), including DynCorp International Inc., and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB) as Trustee. The Senior Unsecured Notes mature on July 1, 2017. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, and commenced on January 1, 2011.
	The Senior Unsecured Notes contain various covenants that restrict our ability to:
	•	incur additional indebtedness;
	•	make certain payments, including declaring or paying certain dividends;
	•	purchase or retire certain equity interests;
	•	retire subordinated indebtedness;
	•	make certain investments;
	•	sell assets;
	•	engage in certain transactions with affiliates;
	•	create liens on assets;
•	make acquisitions; and
•	engage in mergers or consolidations.
The aforementioned restrictions are considered to be in place unless we achieve investment grade ratings by both Moody’s Investor Services and Standard and Poor’s.
The fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes is based on their quoted market value. As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the quoted market value of the Senior Unsecured Notes was approximately 89.5% and 82.0%, respectively, of stated value.
Call and Put Options
We can voluntarily settle all or a portion of the Senior Unsecured Notes at any time prior to maturity at an applicable redemption price plus the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as of the applicable redemption date. The applicable redemption prices with respect to the Senior Unsecured Notes on any applicable redemption date if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on July 1 of the years set forth below are as follows:
Year	Redemption Price
2014	105.2	%
2015	102.6	%
2016 and thereafter	100	%
The Indenture requires us to offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at defined prices in the event of certain asset sales and change of control events. In the case of Asset Sales, as defined in the Indenture, we are required under the Indenture to use the proceeds from such asset sales to either (i) prepay secured debt or nonguarantor debt, (ii) reinvest in our business or (iii) to the extent asset sale proceeds not applied in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) exceed $15.0 million, make an offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.
In the event of a change in control, each holder of the Senior Unsecured Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

	Commitments
	We have operating leases for the use of real estate and certain property and equipment which are either non-cancelable, cancelable only by the payment of penalties or cancelable upon one month’s notice. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. Certain real estate leases are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents, utilities and property taxes. Lease rental expense was $14.0 million and $29.7 million for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. We have no significant long-term purchase agreements with service providers.
	Contingencies
	General Legal Matters
	We are involved in various lawsuits and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We have established reserves for matters in which it is believed that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Reserves related to these matters have been recorded in Other accrued liabilities totaling approximately $6.9 million and $8.7 million as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available; however, some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or other claims or sanctions that if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 27, 2015. These accrued reserves represent the best estimate of amounts believed to be our liability in a range of expected losses. In addition to matters that are considered probable and that can be reasonably estimated, we also have certain matters considered reasonably possible. Other than matters disclosed below, we believe the aggregate range of possible loss related to matters considered reasonably possible was not material as of March 27, 2015. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could (i) exceed the amounts accrued for probable matters; or (ii) require a reserve for a matter we did not originally believe to be probable or could be reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period. Our view of the matters not specifically disclosed could possibly change in future periods as events thereto unfold.
	Pending Litigation and Claims
	On December 4, 2006, December 29, 2006, March 14, 2007 and April 24, 2007, four lawsuits were served, seeking unspecified monetary damages against DynCorp International LLC and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, concerning the spraying of narcotic plant crops along the Colombian border adjacent to Ecuador. Three of the lawsuits, filed on behalf of the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi in Ecuador, allege violations of Ecuadorian law, International law, and statutory and common law tort violations, including negligence, trespass, and nuisance. The fourth lawsuit, filed on behalf of citizens of the Ecuadorian provinces of Esmeraldas and Sucumbíos, alleges personal injury, various counts of negligence, trespass, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the Alien Tort Claims Act and various violations of International law. The four lawsuits were consolidated, and based on our motion granted by the court, the case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On March 26, 2008, a First Amended Consolidated Complaint was filed that identified 3,266 individual plaintiffs. As of January 12, 2010, 1,256 of the plaintiffs were dismissed by court orders and, on September 15, 2010, the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi were dismissed by court order. We filed multiple motions for summary judgment and, on February 15, 2013, the court granted summary judgment and dismissed all claims. On March 18, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. On May 30, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the dismissal of the majority of the case, but remanded the case to the trial court concerning a few remaining tort claims. At this time, we believe the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in this case is remote.
	A lawsuit filed on September 11, 2001, and amended on March 24, 2008, seeking unspecified damages on behalf of twenty-six residents of the Sucumbíos Province in Ecuador, was brought against our operating company and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The action alleges violations of the laws of nations and U.S. treaties, negligence, emotional distress, nuisance, battery, trespass, strict liability, and medical monitoring arising from the spraying of herbicides near the Ecuador-Colombia border in connection with the performance of the DoS, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement contract for the eradication of narcotic plant crops in Colombia. As of January 12, 2010, fifteen of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court order. We filed multiple motions for summary judgment and, on February 15, 2013, the court granted summary judgment and dismissed all claims. On March 18, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. On May 30, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the dismissal of the majority of the case, but remanded the case to the trial court concerning a few remaining tort claims. The terms of the DoS contract provide that the DoS will indemnify our operating company against third party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. We are also entitled to indemnification by Computer Sciences Corporation, the Company’s previous owners, in connection with this lawsuit, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, any damage award would have to be apportioned between the other defendants and our operating company. We believe that the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment in this matter is remote.
	Arising out of the litigation described in the preceding two paragraphs, on September 22, 2008, we filed a separate lawsuit against our aviation insurance carriers seeking defense and coverage of the referenced claims. On November 9, 2009, the court granted our Partial Motion for Summary Judgment regarding the duty to defend, and the carriers have paid the majority of the litigation expenses. In a related action, the carriers filed a lawsuit against us on February 5, 2009, seeking rescission of certain aviation insurance policies based on an alleged misrepresentation by us concerning the existence of certain of the lawsuits relating to the eradication of narcotic plant crops. On May 19, 2010, our aviation insurance carriers filed a complaint against us seeking reformation of previously provided insurance policies and the elimination of coverage for aerial spraying. We believe the claims asserted by the insurance carriers are without merit and the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment in this matter is remote.
	In 2009, we terminated for cause a contract to build the Akwa Ibom International Airport for the State of Akwa Ibom in Nigeria. Consequently, we terminated certain subcontracts and purchase orders the customer advised us it did not want to assume. Our termination of certain subcontracts not assumed by the customer, including our actions to recover against advance payment and performance guarantees established by the subcontractors for our benefit, was challenged in certain instances. In December 2011, the customer filed arbitration alleging fraud, gross negligence, contract violations, and conversion of funds and asserted damages of approximately $150 million. We believe our right to terminate this contract was justified and permissible under the terms of the contract, and we intend to vigorously contest the claims brought against us. Additionally, we believe the contract limits any damages to a maximum of $3 million, except in situations of gross negligence and willful misconduct. As of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have recorded an immaterial liability for this matter and believe the likelihood of loss for amounts in excess of this accrual, up to the amount limited by the contract, is reasonably possible.
	In 2009, a former subcontractor on a U.S. Army contract filed a lawsuit against us alleging breach of contract and good faith and fair dealing claiming we directed certain efforts to other subcontractors. The subcontractor alleged that certain efforts on a prior contract were exclusive to them and we had violated that exclusivity. In April 2015, the parties agreed to a settlement. As of March 27, 2015, a reserve had been established for the full amount of the settlement and we believe the matter is now closed.
	U.S. Government Investigations
	We primarily sell our services to the U.S. government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, and we are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. government who investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements, including, as previously disclosed in our periodic filings, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction report regarding certain reimbursements and the U.S. Department of State Office of Inspector General's records subpoena with respect to Civilian Police ("CivPol"). Such investigations, whether related to our U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed on us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. U.S. government investigations often take years to complete and many result in adverse action against us. We believe that any adverse actions arising from such matters could have a material effect on our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on our contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts with the U.S. government and could have a material effect on our operating performance.
	On February 24, 2012, we were advised by the Department of Justice Civil Litigation Division that they are conducting an investigation regarding the CivPol and Department of State Advisor Support Mission ("DASM") contracts in Iraq and Corporate Bank, a former subcontractor. The issues include allowable hours worked under a specific task order and invoices to the Department of State for certain hotel leasing, labor rates and overhead within the 2003 to 2008 timeframe. The Department of Justice Civil Litigation Division has requested information from the Company, and we are fully cooperating with the government's review. If our operations are found to be in violation of any laws or government regulations, we may be subject to penalties, damages or fines, any or all of which could adversely affect our financial results. At this time, an estimate or a range of potential damages is not possible as this matter is still under review by the Department of Justice and no formal complaint has been filed.
	U.S. Government Audits
	Our contracts are regularly audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA") and other government agencies. These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The government also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, accounting and material management business systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed. The DCAA will in some cases issue a Form 1 representing the non-conformance of such costs or requirements as it relates to our government contracts. If we are unable to provide sufficient evidence of the costs in question, the costs could be suspended or disallowed which could be material to our financial statements. Government contract payments received by us for direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment after government audit and repayment to the government if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in the government regulations.
	We have received a series of audit reports from the DCAA, some of which have resulted in Form 1s, related to their examination of certain incurred, invoiced and reimbursed costs on our CivPol program. The Form 1s identify several cost categories where the DCAA has asserted instances of potential deviations from the explicit terms of the contract or from certain provisions of government regulations. The asserted amounts are derived from extrapolation methodologies used to estimate potential exposure amounts for the cost categories. Over the past several years, we have worked with the DCAA and our customer in resolving matters inclusive in the Form 1s as well as other transmittals. We have provided responses to the DCAA and the Department of State that have articulated our position on each issue and have attempted to answer their questions and provide clarification of the facts to resolve the issues raised. We have also sought to obtain clarification from our customer through formal contract modifications in an attempt to assist the DCAA in closing these issues.
	We believe the majority of these issues will continue to be resolved and thus represent loss contingencies that we consider remote. For the remaining issues, which total approximately $7.7 million we believe the DCAA did not consider certain contractual provisions and long standing patterns of dealing with the customer. Since we cannot reasonably estimate the DCAA's acceptance of our initial responses and the ultimate outcome related to these remaining issues we believe these items represent loss contingencies that we consider reasonably possible. However, we do anticipate resolving these contingencies for an immaterial amount as we continue to work with the customer and the DCAA in providing clarification of the facts and circumstances surrounding the issues.
	On April 30, 2013, we received several Form 1s from DCAA disapproving approximately $152.0 million of cost incurred for the periods ranging between 2000 to 2011 on the War Reserve Materiel program related to concerns on items such as the adequacy of documentation and reasonableness of costs. We are working with the Air Force to resolve these questions. Based on our recent correspondence with the customer, a substantial portion of these items represent loss contingencies are remote. The remaining portion of these items totaling $1.8 million represent loss contingencies that we consider reasonably possible; however, we do anticipate resolving these contingencies for an immaterial amount as we continue to work with the customer.
	Foreign Contingencies
	On January 22, 2014, a tax assessment from the Large Tax Office of the Afghanistan Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) was received, seeking approximately $64.2 million in taxes and penalties specific to one of our business licenses in Afghanistan for periods between 2009 to 2012. The majority of this assessment was income tax related; however, $10.2 million of the assessed amount is non-income tax related and represents loss contingencies that we consider reasonably possible. We filed our initial appeal of the assessment with the MOF on February 19, 2014. In May 2014, the MOF ruled in our favor for the income tax related issue which totaled approximately $54.0 million. See Note 4 for further discussion of the income tax related issue. We are still working with the MOF to remove the assessment on the remaining non-income tax related items. As of March 27, 2015, a reasonable estimate of loss or range of loss could not be made as we could not reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome related to the issues assessed.
	Credit Risk
	We are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily by virtue of our accounts receivable. Departments and agencies of the U.S. federal government account for all but minor portions of our customer base, minimizing this credit risk. Furthermore, we continuously review all accounts receivable and record provisions for doubtful accounts when necessary.
	Risk Management Liabilities and Reserves
	We are insured for domestic workers' compensation liabilities and a significant portion of our employee medical costs. However, we bear risk for a portion of claims pursuant to the terms of the applicable insurance contracts. We account for these programs based on actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent in that period’s claims, including losses for which claims have not been reported. These loss estimates rely on actuarial observations of ultimate loss experience for similar historical events. We limit our risk by purchasing stop-loss insurance policies for significant claims incurred for both domestic workers' compensation liabilities and medical costs. Our exposure under the stop-loss policies for domestic workers' compensation and medical costs is limited based on fixed dollar amounts. For domestic workers' compensation and employers' liability under state and federal law, the fixed dollar amount of stop-loss coverage is $1.0 million per occurrence on most policies; but, $0.25 million on a California based policy. For medical costs, the fixed dollar amount of stop-loss coverage is from $0.25 million to $0.75 million for total costs per covered participant per calendar year.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Parties, Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities	Related Parties, Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
	Consulting Fee
	We have a Master Consulting and Advisory Services agreement ("COAC Agreement") with Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company, LLC where, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, they make personnel available to us for the purpose of providing reasonably requested business advisory services. The services are priced on a case by case basis depending on the requirements of the project and agreements in pricing. We incurred $1.7 million and $0.7 million in conjunction with the COAC Agreement during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively.
	We have three executives who are Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company, LLC (“COAC”) employees, who are seconded to us: James E. Geisler, our Interim Chief Executive Officer, Gregory S. Nixon, our Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Legal Officer, and George C. Krivo, our Senior Vice President of Business Development. Inclusive of the $1.7 million COAC consulting fees, we recognized $856,000 of administrative expense in conjunction with these COAC individuals for the three months ended March 27, 2015.
	Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
	We account for our investments in VIEs in accordance with ASC 810 - Consolidation. In cases where we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consolidate the entity. Alternatively, in cases where all of the aforementioned criteria are not met, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. As of March 27, 2015, we accounted for PaTH, CRS, Babcock, GRS and GLS as equity method investments. Alternatively, we consolidated DIFZ based on the aforementioned criteria. We present our share of the PaTH, CRS, GRS and GLS earnings in Earnings from equity method investees as these joint ventures are considered operationally integral. Alternatively, we present our share of the Babcock earnings in Other income, net as it is not considered operationally integral.
	Receivables due from our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $2.0 million and $1.5 million as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These receivables are a result of items purchased and services rendered by us on behalf of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We have assessed these receivables as having minimal collection risk based on our historic experience with these joint ventures and our inherent influence through our ownership interest. The related revenue we earned from our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $0.1 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. The related cost of services was $0.2 million and $1.9 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. Additionally, we earned $0.5 million and $10.3 million in equity method income (includes operationally integral and non-integral income) during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively.
	GLS’ revenue was $6.7 million and $4.8 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. GLS’ operating loss was $0.6 million and $1.5 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. GLS’ net loss was $0.6 million and $1.5 million during the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. GLS did not pay a cash dividend during the three months ended March 27, 2015. GLS paid cash dividends of $18.8 million during the three months ended March 28, 2014. Based on our 51% ownership in GLS, we recognized $9.6 million in equity method income during the three months ended March 28, 2014.
	We currently hold one promissory note included in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheet from Palm Trading Investment Corp, which had an aggregate initial value of $9.2 million. The loan balance outstanding was $2.8 million and $2.9 million as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, reflecting the initial value plus accrued interest, less payments against the promissory note. The fair value of the note receivable is not materially different from its carrying value.
	As discussed above and in accordance with ASC 810 - Consolidation, we consolidate DIFZ. The following tables present selected financial information for DIFZ as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014:
		As Of

	Revenue	$	45.8	$	78.7
	Gross profit	5.1		5.3
	Net income	4		3.2
	Many of our joint ventures and VIEs only perform on a single contract. The modification or termination of a contract under a joint venture or VIE could trigger an impairment in the fair value of our investment in these entities. In the aggregate, our maximum exposure to losses as a result of our investment consists of our (i) $6.9 million investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, (ii) $2.0 million in receivables from our unconsolidated joint ventures, (iii) $2.8 million note receivable from Palm Trading Investment Corp. and (iv) contingent liabilities that were neither probable nor reasonably estimable as of March 27, 2015.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share Based Payments	Share Based Payments
	On December 17, 2013 DynCorp Management LLC authorized 100,000 Class B shares as available for issuance to certain members of management and outside directors of Defco Holdings, Inc. (“Defco Holdings”), its non-member manager, and its subsidiaries, including Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. All of DynCorp International Inc.'s issued and outstanding common stock is owned by the Company, and all of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock is owned by our parent, Holdings. The grant and vesting of the awards is contingent upon the executives' consent to the terms and conditions set forth in the Class B interests agreements.
	In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” we estimate the grant date fair value of the Class B shares using a Monte Carlo simulation, which takes into account subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the interest and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option.
	A summary of the Class B Interest plans activity for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 is as follows:
		Number of Interests
	Outstanding at December 31, 2014	5,901
	Granted:
	Class B-1	—
	Class B-2	—
	Exercised	—
	Forfeited or expired	(45	)
	Outstanding at March 27, 2015	5,856
		Number of Interests
	Outstanding at December 31, 2013	3,144
	Granted:
	Class B-1	3,459
	Class B-2	—
	Exercised	—
	Forfeited or expired	—
	Outstanding at March 28, 2014	6,603
	Awards to our management team consist of options qualifying as profits interests under Revenue Procedure 93-27, that are exercisable only upon a change in control as defined in the Plan. The awards do not expire and the awards do not have a fixed strike price. The value of the Class B Interest as of the grant date is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” and is amortized over the respective vesting period. The Monte Carlo simulation, similar to a Black-Scholes option pricing formula, requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the interest and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility of the market-based guideline companies as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying Class B interest and estimated the expected life of our Class B grants to be 4 years as of the grant date. The 2013 fair value utilized for determining the profits interests for Class B-1 and B-2 interests was $819.26 and $258.30, respectively. The initial fair value was utilized for all grants through the period ending March 28, 2014. After the period ending March 28, 2014, another valuation was performed to determine the fair value of future grants resulting in Class B-1 interests granted after March 28, 2014 having a fair value of $32.73.
		For the three months ended
		27-Mar-15		28-Mar-14
	Weighted-average assumptions used:
	Expected volatility	36	%	33.5	%
	Risk-free interest rate	1.1	%	1.7	%
	Expected yield	8	%	8	%
	Expected life (in years)	2.8		4
	Forfeiture rate	8	%	8	%
	The total fair value of shares granted during the three months ended March 28, 2014 was $2.8 million. No shares were granted during the three months ended March 27, 2015. The fair value of Class B-1 interests granted after March 28, 2014 was $1.7 million. Total compensation cost expensed for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 was $0.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
	A summary of the changes in non-vested shares for the period ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 is as follows:
		Number of Interests
	Non-vested shares at December 31, 2014	1,234
	Granted	—
	Vested	(122	)
	Forfeited	(45	)
	Non-vested shares at March 27, 2015	1,067
		Number of Interests
	Non-vested shares at December 31, 2013	2,123
	Granted	3,459
	Vested	(1,361	)
	Forfeited	—
	Non-vested shares at March 28, 2014	4,221
	As of March 27, 2015, the total compensation cost related to the non-vested Class B awards, not yet recognized, was $0.3 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.9 years. As of March 28, 2014, the total compensation cost related to the non-vested Class B awards, not yet recognized, was $2.3 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.8 years.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), the parent of DynCorp International Inc., through its subsidiaries (together, "the Company"), provides defense and technical services and government outsourced solutions primarily to U.S. government agencies domestically and internationally. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 1, 2010. Our customers include the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"), the U.S. Department of State ("DoS"), the U.S. Agency for International Development ("USAID"), foreign governments, commercial customers and certain other U.S. federal, state and local government departments and agencies. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to "we," "our," "us," or "the Company" refer to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that all disclosures are adequate and do not make the information presented misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position as of March 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of operations, the statements of comprehensive income and the statements of equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 have been included. The results of operations, the statements of comprehensive income and the statements of equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full calendar year or for any future periods. We use estimates and assumptions required for preparation of the financial statements. The estimates are primarily based on historical experience and business knowledge and are revised as circumstances change. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has investments in joint ventures that are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The VIE investments are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810 — Consolidation. In cases where the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company consolidates the entity. Alternatively, in cases where all of the aforementioned criteria are not met, the investment is accounted for under the equity method.
	We classify our equity method investees in two distinct groups based on management’s day-to-day involvement in the operations of each entity and the nature of each joint venture’s business. If the joint venture is deemed to be an extension of one of our segments and operationally integral to the business, our share of the joint venture’s earnings is reported within operating income in Earnings from equity method investees in the consolidated statement of operations. If the Company considers our involvement less significant, the share of the joint venture’s net earnings is reported in Other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
	Noncontrolling Interests
	We record the impact of our partners' interests in less than wholly owned consolidated joint ventures as noncontrolling interests. Currently, DynCorp International FZ-LLC ("DIFZ") is our only consolidated joint venture for which we do not own 100% of the entity. We hold 25% ownership interest in DIFZ. We continue to consolidate DIFZ as we still exercise power over activities that significantly impact DIFZ’s economic performance and have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of DIFZ that could potentially be significant to DIFZ. Noncontrolling interests is presented on the face of the statements of operations as an increase or reduction in arriving at "Net loss attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc." Noncontrolling interests is located in the equity section on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 for further discussion regarding DIFZ.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period that they are determined.
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies
	There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Accounting Developments	Accounting Developments
	In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-01, Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 changes the consolidation guidance to address concerns of stakeholders that current accounting for certain legal entities might require a reporting entity to consolidate another legal entity in situations in which the reporting entity’s contractual rights do not give it the ability to act primarily on its own behalf, the reporting entity does not hold a majority of the legal entity’s voting rights, or the reporting entity is not exposed to a majority of the legal entity’s economic benefits or obligations. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating both methods of adoption as well as the effect ASU 2015-02 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset, consistent with debt discounts. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and required retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on our consolidated financial position.
	Other accounting standards updates effective after March 27, 2015 are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations and cash flows.
