What is a voting card?
A voting card is like a written ballot. It is sometimes called a "proxy" card.
When you instruct someone to vote your shares in a certain manner, the
designated person then acts as your agent or "proxy" in casting your vote or
carrying out your voting instructions.
================================================================================
What is a proxy statement?
This is a proxy statement. When we offer you the opportunity to vote as a
stockholder or to give voting instructions, we must also give you certain
information about the Company, the election, and the independent auditor. For
example, the securities laws require that we furnish you with specific
information about ownership of the Company's stock and executive compensation.
Much of that information is in this proxy statement. Financial and other
information that we are required to give you can be found in the Company's 2001
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
================================================================================
Who will receive this proxy statement?
o Persons who own stock in their own names ("record holders") are receiving a
proxy statement and one or more voting cards, together with an envelope
addressed to the Corporate Secretary. Record holders include current and
former employees who bought stock in their own names, outside investors,
and the Savings Plan Trusts, which hold stock on behalf of participants in
the plans.
o Participants in the Savings and Retirement Plan and Capital Accumulation
and Retirement Plan (the "Savings Plans") who hold shares in a Company
stock account are receiving a proxy statement and voting card, together
with an envelope addressed to the Savings Plan trustee's ballot-counting
agent.
================================================================================
How do I receive an Annual Report?
We are enclosing copies of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A with this
proxy statement for all Savings Plan participants and for all record holders who
are not Savings Plan participants. If you have not received an Annual Report
through one of these methods, you may send a written request to the Corporate
Secretary, DynCorp, 11710 Plaza America Drive, Reston, Virginia 20190, call the
Corporate Secretary's office at (703) 261-5029, or send a request by facsimile
((703) 261-5078), internal Company email (Hougen, Monty), or by internet to
(monty.hougen@dyncorp.com), and we will send you a copy by email or first class
mail.
================================================================================
How can I vote shares in my Savings Plan account?
The Savings Plan voting card shows the aggregate number of shares held in your
Company Stock Account as of the record date and shares allocated to your ESOP
Account as of December 31, 2001, as reduced by subsequent distributions. The
Savings Plan document designates participants as "named fiduciaries", which
allows participants to give voting instructions for their shares. Your voting
instructions, together with the instructions of all other participants who mail
in their voting cards, will be counted by the Savings Plan trustee to determine
the proportion of votes "for" or "against" each nominee. Then the Savings Plan
trustee will vote all the shares in the Savings Plans, including those allocated
to the accounts of other participants who have not given any instructions, in
the same proportions "for" or "against" the nominee, unless following the
participant instructions would at the time be contrary to the laws governing
such trusts, in which case the trustee will vote the shares in accordance with
the law.
================================================================================
What happens if I do not vote my Savings Plan shares?
The Savings Plan documents provide that all shares are to be voted by the
trustee proportionately in the same ratio as actual voting instructions are
received. If you do not give voting instructions for shares in your account, the
other participants who do give voting instructions will actually instruct the
trustee how to vote them for you. On the other hand, if you do give voting
instructions, your instructions will determine the voting of a proportion of the
shares for which other participants have not given any instructions.
================================================================================
What about my ESPP shares?
Shares purchased through the payroll deduction Employee Stock Purchase Plan are
issued directly in the participants' names, and they are record holders. They
vote those shares directly by sending in voting cards.
================================================================================
How do I vote?
Mark, sign, and date the enclosed voting card, and return it immediately in the
enclosed envelope. If this is a joint account, both owners must sign the card.
Because the voting instructions are counted by different parties, it is
important to match each voting card with the correct envelope that came with it.
================================================================================
How do I mark the voting card?
If you want to vote for all the nominees for the Board of Directors, you may
check the box marked "FOR" or merely sign the voting card and mail it; unless
you give instructions to the contrary, all votes will be cast in favor of all
nominees. If you want to vote against all three nominees, check the box marked
"WITHHOLD AUTHORITY to vote for election of all three nominees". If you want to
vote against one or more individual nominees, write that person's name (or those
persons' names) on the line below the words "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY". The words
"withhold authority" really mean "against".
================================================================================
Who will count the vote?
The Corporate Secretary counts the votes of record holders. The Savings Plan
trust has hired Mellon Investor Services, L.L.C. to count Savings Plan voting
cards.
================================================================================
How many votes are necessary to adopt a proposal?
Each share that is held by a record holder is equal to one vote. On May 21, 2002
(the "record date"), there were 10,563,976 shares outstanding, and each share
carries one vote. The holders of 3,521,329 shares will make up a quorum for the
meeting. When a quorum is present, the meeting can carry on business. A majority
of the total shares then represented at the meeting is necessary to pass an
action. Because the Savings Plan Trusts hold 8,886,567 shares, the presence of a
representative of the Savings Plan trustee will constitute a quorum.
================================================================================
Who attends the Annual Meeting?
Approximately 84% percent of our common stock is held by the Savings Plan Trusts
for the benefit of our current and former employees, and an additional 9% is
held directly by current and former employees. Because the Company communicates
frequently with its employees by means other than stockholder meetings, our
Annual Meeting has not recently been attended by persons other than
representatives of the Trusts, the Chairman of the Board, the Corporate
Secretary, and the vote inspectors.
================================================================================
Is my vote confidential?
Savings Plan votes are confidential; the ballot-counting agency merely advises
the trustee of the total number of shares voted for or against a matter. The
Corporate Secretary will count votes cast by record holders, and those votes are
not confidential.
================================================================================
What does it mean if I get more than one voting card?
Each employee will get a Savings Plan voting card for his or her Savings Plan
shares. Each record holder will receive a voting card for shares held directly.
Some record holders may receive more than one record holder voting card, because
they hold shares in more than one account, such as through a joint account or
trust account. Please send in each card.
================================================================================
Who owns the Company's common stock?
Owners of outstanding stock on May 21, 2002 No. of shares Percentage
- ------------------------------------------- ------------- ----------
Company Savings Plan Trusts (1) 8,886,567 84.1%
DynCorp directors and officers (1) (2) 940,423 8.9%
Other current or former DynCorp employees (2) 397,891 3.8%
Outside investors 339,105 3.2%
-------
Total 10,563,986
(1) See tables on pages 15-16 for more information.
(2) Does not include shares held in the Savings Plan Trusts on behalf
of directors, officers, and current or former employees.
================================================================================
Who pays for this proxy solicitation?
The cost of printing and mailing the Annual Report and this proxy statement,
plus the cost of tabulating proxy cards and Savings Plan voting instruction
cards, will be paid by the Company.
================================================================================
Can I revoke or change my voting card?
If record holders want to change their vote, they can revoke their voting
instructions by: (1) sending a written statement to the Corporate Secretary
prior to the Annual Meeting; (2) submitting a properly signed replacement voting
card with a later date to the Corporate Secretary; or (3) voting in person at
the Annual Meeting. Savings Plan participants cannot change their voting
instructions.
================================================================================
What is the purpose of my vote?
An affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting is
necessary to elect a director. Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR
these nominees. If a record holder does not send in a voting card or marks
"withhold" on a voting card, that will have the same effect as voting against
the nominees. However, the Savings Plan trustee will vote shares for which
instructions are not received proportionately in the same ratio as actual voting
instructions are received.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
The Securities Exchange Act requires certain officers and directors to file

o Nominating Committee: Provides the Board of Directors with recommendations
concerning the qualifications of potential candidates for membership on the

Each director other than Mr. Mecum attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the various committees on
which he served. Mr. Mecum attended three of the five meetings of the Board of Directors and three of the four meetings of each
committee on which he sits.
================================================================================
How are directors paid for their duties?
Mr. Bannister receives an annual fee of $165,000 to serve as Chairman of the
Board and member of various Board committees and to provide other services to
the Company. Other non-employee directors receive an annual retainer fee of
$20,000 as directors and $2,750 for each committee on which they serve. The
chairmen of the Business Ethics and Compliance, Compensation, and Executive
Committees receive an additional annual fee of $2,000, and the chairman of the
Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $3,000. We also pay
non-employee directors a meeting fee of $1,000 for attendance at each Board
meeting and $500 for attendance at committee meetings. Directors are reimbursed
for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings and
participation in other Company activities.
================================================================================
Do directors receive other forms of compensation?
Directors may also receive stock options. Options to purchase the following
number of shares of common stock, at the then-current market price of the
shares, were granted to the following directors in 2001:
Name of director Number of options Name of director Number of options
- ---------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------
Mr. Bannister 5,000 Mr. Mecum 5,000
Mr. Blanchard 5,000 Mr. Reichardt 25,000
General Carns 5,000 Mr. Thompson 5,000
Dr. Kaminski 5,000 Mr. Winokur 5,000
Non-employee directors do not participate in other benefit plans of the Company.
Because our directors can incur personal liability for activities in connection
with our business, we purchase insurance to cover claims against our directors
and officers and to cover losses incurred in our indemnification of directors
and officers as required or permitted by law. The directors and officers covered
are the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. There is no
allocation or segregation of the premium for specific subsidiaries or individual
directors and officers.
================================================================================
Is there a relationship between the members of the Compensation Committee and
the Company?
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
None of the members of the Compensation Committee are current or former
employees of or have a business or other relationship with the Company. No
executive officer of the Company serves on the board of directors or
compensation committee of any entity (other than subsidiaries of the Company)
whose directors or executive officers served on the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee of the Company.
================================================================================
What are the Compensation Committee's compensation policies?
The following comments and several tables in this proxy statement pertain to
certain "named executive officers". For this proxy statement, that term applies
to Mr. Lombardi, President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. FitzPatrick, Senior
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Reichardt, Senior Vice President
and General Counsel; Mr. Cannon, President of DynCorp International LLC; and Mr.
Medley, President of DynCorp Technical Services LLC.
What is our compensation philosophy?
Our compensation programs have been carefully designed to motivate our
management team to create and maximize stockholder value. The linking of
executive compensation with the returns realized by our stockholders has proven
to be instrumental to our continued growth and performance. Our Compensation
Committee consists of three independent non-employee directors who have the
primary responsibility to administer executive compensation programs, policies,
and practices. Our executive compensation program consists of three elements:
base pay, an annual incentive program, and a long-term incentive compensation
program. The mix of short- and long-term incentives is continually reviewed to
assure the proper linkage between executive rewards and stockholder returns.
How do we determine base pay?
The base pay of our executives is determined by individual performance and
comparisons to executive compensation in the service, information technology,
and general industry businesses. Salary increases have generally been in accord
with comparable companies.
How are annual bonuses determined?
The purpose of annual bonuses is to motivate and reward key executives for their
achievement of pre-established, measurable objectives that have significant and
direct impact on the overall success of the company and its business. At the
beginning of the year, company and unit financial objectives, individual
objectives, and target incentive award levels are established and confirmed in
writing for each participant. At the conclusion of the year, the achievement of
the specified financial objectives and individual objectives are scored and
weighted for each participant according to established formulae to determine the
actual bonus amount to be awarded. Performance in 2001 generally met or exceeded
the specified objectives.
How is compensation used to focus management on long-term value creation?
Stock options are granted to aid in the retention of key employees and to align
the interests of management employees with those of the stockholders. Stock
options have value for management employees only if the price of the Company's
stock increases above the market value on the grant date and the employee
remains in our employ for the period required for the stock option to be
exercisable, thus providing an incentive to remain in our employ. Additionally,
stock options directly link a portion of the management employee's compensation
to the stockholders' interests by providing an incentive to maximize stockholder
value. In addition, 20% of the Executive Incentive Plan bonus is normally paid
in the form of shares of stock, valued at then-current market value.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain
of the named executive officers, including Messrs. Lombardi, FitzPatrick,
Reichardt, and Cannon, whereby the individuals (or their beneficiaries) receive
payments having an aggregate amount equal to a percentage of the sum of their
final annual salary rate plus their final target annual bonus (400% in the case
of Messrs. Lombardi, FitzPatrick, and Reichardt; 150% in the case of Mr.
Cannon), paid in installments over the ten-year period following their normal
retirement, disability retirement, or, in some cases, early retirement. Upon
their death following such retirement, the individuals' beneficiaries will also
receive an additional aggregate lump-sum payment equal to one-half of the sum of
their final annual salary rate plus their final target annual bonus. In the
event of their death prior to retirement, the individuals' beneficiaries will
receive, in lieu of the foregoing payments, an aggregate lump-sum payment equal
to 100% of the sum of their final annual salary rate plus their final target
annual bonus. The Company funds some of such potential payments through life
insurance policies.
================================================================================
Are there any employment contracts between the named executive officers and the
Company?
The Company has entered into three-year employment agreements with Messrs.
Lombardi, FitzPatrick, and Reichardt (the "Employment Agreements"). The
Employment Agreements specify annual salary and incentive plan target bonuses
and provide for payment of salary and pro-rated bonus through the 30th day
following termination. In addition, in the event of involuntary termination
without cause, the executive will receive (i) certain consulting payments,
commencing at the time of termination, in exchange for his agreement to provide
non-exclusive consulting services for a 30-month period and (ii) a payment in
exchange for the executive's agreement not to compete with the Company during
the 30-month period of his consulting agreement. The Employment Agreements also
provide for the payment to the executive of an additional lump-sum amount equal
to his current annual compensation rate if his employment is terminated in
connection with a change in control of the Company. The following table sets
forth the various post-employment payments that would be made to Messrs.
Lombardi, FitzPatrick, and Reichardt if they were terminated during 2002 without
cause but not in connection with a change of control:
consulting agreement non-competition agreement total
Mr. Lombardi $375,000 $1,120,000 $1,495,000
Mr. FitzPatrick $230,000 $700,000 $930,000
Mr. Reichardt $230,000 $700,000 $930,000
We have entered into a change-in-control severance agreement with Mr. Medley
(the "Severance Agreement"). The Severance Agreement provides that certain
benefits, including a lump-sum payment, will be triggered if he is terminated
following a change in control of the Company, unless termination occurs under
specific circumstances set forth in the Severance Agreements. A change in
control would occur if we were to be substantially acquired by a new owner or if
a majority of our Board of Directors were replaced. The Severance Agreement
currently expires on January 1, 2003, but is subject to annual automatic renewal
unless terminated by the Company. The amount of such lump-sum payment would be
2.99 times the sum of the executive's annual salary and average incentive
compensation for the three prior years. Other benefits include payment of
incentive compensation not yet paid for the prior year and a pro rata portion of
incentive compensation awards for the current year, as well as immediate vesting
of all unvested stock options. The Severance Agreement also provides a reduction
if the payment exceeds the amount we are entitled to deduct on our federal
income tax return. The Severance Agreements also provide that we will reimburse
him for legal fees and expenses incurred by him in enforcing his rights under
the Severance Agreement.
================================================================================
What is our policy about stock ownership by executives?
In 1995, the Board of Directors established the DynCorp Equity Target Ownership
Policy ("ETOP"). The ETOP applies to all employees in salary bands 1 through 3
of the Executive/Senior Management Compensation Program, including the named
executive officers. The ETOP implements the Compensation Committee's belief that
significant stock ownership by management employees will provide an incentive
for those managers to improve stockholder value over the long term. This will
benefit the managers as well as all stockholders. The ETOP establishes goals of
stock ownership based on individual levels of compensation. It provides that the
aggregate value of shares owned directly by the individuals or held on their
behalf in various plans, like the Savings Plans, be at least as great as the
following multiples of their base annual salary:
Base salary rate of: required value of holdings:
-------------------- ---------------------------
Chief Executive Officer 4.0 times base salary
$300,000 or more 3.0 times base salary
$200,000 to $299,999 2.5 times base salary
less than $200,000 1.5 times base salary
If an executive subject to the ETOP purchases a block of 250 shares or more on
our Internal Stock Market in the course of meeting ETOP targets, the executive
pays 85% of the purchase price, and we pay the remainder as well as an
additional amount of taxes on the company-paid portion. This is intended to have
an after-tax effect similar to a purchase of shares through the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan mentioned below.
================================================================================
How do our employees acquire stock?
We have provided several additional ways for our employees, including the named
executive officers and other employees subject to the ETOP, to acquire stock.
o Our Savings Plans are tax-deferred (401(k)) retirement plans open to
substantially all employees. Participants may defer receipt of a portion of
their compensation, limited to a maximum amount of $11,000 per year in the
case of the named executive officers. The Company contributes such amounts
to the Savings Plan Trust on their behalf. The investment options for
participants include a Company stock fund, as well as 13 T. Rowe Price
investment options. The Company may make a discretionary contribution on
behalf of participants, may partially match a participant's salary-deferral
contribution, and may supplementally match investments in the Company stock
fund. In 2001, the Trust for the former Savings and Retirement Plan
acquired shares for investments in the Company stock fund and the
Company-match portion for individual investments in the Company stock fund
by purchase on the Company's Internal Stock Market. The salary deferral
portion is always vested. Vesting in the Company-match portion occurs on
the earlier of completion of one year of employment or termination of
employment because of normal retirement, death, or disability.
o Our Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") was merged into the Savings
Plans on January 1, 2001. The Company made periodic contributions to the
ESOP Trust each year. The ESOP Trust used these contributions to buy shares
of the Company's stock. Shares purchased during the year were allocated, as
of the end of the year, to the accounts of all participants based on annual
compensation, up to a maximum allowable compensation of $170,000, in 2000,
in the case of the named executive officers. Vesting in the shares occurs
over the first four years of employment.
o Our Executive Incentive Plan ("EIP") is a bonus compensation plan for
corporate officers and other key executives, including the named executive
officers. Each participant's performance for the year is measured against
certain individual criteria and our performance for the year. Following
such measurement, the Compensation Committee determines the amount of
bonuses payable to the participants. Twenty percent of these EIP payments,
net of taxes, is normally made in shares of stock, valued at the
then-current market price.
o Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") is a tax-qualified employee stock
purchase plan. All employees can participate in the ESPP. They may
contribute a portion of their salary, at rates not to exceed $450 per week,
on an after-tax basis. The contributions are used to purchase stock on
their behalf in our Internal Stock Market. We contribute an amount equal to
15% of each individual's deferrals to purchase additional shares on their
behalf. The purchaser must hold ESPP-purchased shares for at least one year
prior to selling them.
o Our 1995 Stock Option Plan is a non-qualified (for income tax purposes)
stock option plan. Key managers, including the named executive officers,
received stock options from time to time. A stock option permits them to
purchase a certain number of shares over a period of seven or ten years, at
the market price in effect at the time of the grant. Options vest in equal
increments over the next five years (the next four years for options
granted after March 5, 1998), if the participant remains an employee for
the full vesting period. When a portion of the option vests, the
participant may exercise the option by payment of the exercise price. The
difference between the exercise price and the market value of the shares at
time of exercise is taxable as salary-type income. If the participant
leaves the Company because of normal retirement, death, or disability, all
the options vest immediately. Vested options may be exercised over a six-
or twelve-month period following such termination. If employment is
terminated for other reasons, options are normally forfeited.
o Our 1999 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan is a non-qualified
performance-based stock and cash incentive plan, under which the
Compensation Committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, and other stock-based grants and awards, as determined by
the Compensation Committee. Options are granted at the then-current market
value. Options granted to the named executive officers in 2001 will vest at
the earlier of six years following the grant date or age 65, provided that
vesting will accelerate if the market price of the Company's stock reaches
certain threshold levels.

How does our stock performance compare with others?
The following chart shows a comparison of the theoretical returns on an
investment of $100 in our stock on December 31, 1996, using the valuation price
established by the Board of Directors for purposes of the Internal Stock Market,
with a similar $100 theoretical investment in each of the NASDAQ composite index
and a composite of several other Government technical services companies on the
same date. The chart shows the comparable value in dollars of each such
investment, as of the end of each of the following five years.

What is the role of the Audit Committee?
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing
oversight and review of the Company's accounting and financial functions and its
financial reporting process in consultation with the Company's independent and
internal auditors. The Committee is composed of three members of the Board of
Directors who would, if the Company's common stock were listed for trading on
the NASDAQ, qualify as being "independent" in accordance with Rule 4200(a)(14)
of the NASD listing standards. The Committee operates under a written charter
adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which was filed with the Company's
proxy statement for 2001.
The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial
statements for 2001 with management. It has discussed with the independent
accountants the (A) methods used to account for significant unusual
transactions; (B) the effect of any significant accounting policies in
controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus; (C) the process used by management in formulating
particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditor's
conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and (D) whether
there were any disagreements with management over (1) the application of
accounting principles, (2) the basis for management's accounting estimates, and
(3) the disclosures in the financial statements. The Committee has also met
privately with representatives of the independent accountants, without
management presence.
The Committee has received a letter from the independent accountants confirming
that there are no relationships between the independent accountants and their
related entities and the Company and its related entities that, in the
accountants' professional judgment, may reasonably be thought to bear on
independence and confirming that, in the accountants' professional judgment, it
is independent of the Company. The Committee has discussed the independent
accountants' independence with the independent accountants. The Committee has
also considered whether the fees paid to the independent accountants for matters
other than customary audit services, including those set forth below, are
compatible with maintaining the accountants' independence.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended
to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in
the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
By the Audit Committee:
Dudley C. Mecum II, Chairman
T. Eugene Blanchard
H. Brian Thompson
================================================================================
Who is our independent auditor?
Independent accountants audit the Company's financial statements each year, to
assure that the information contained in the Annual Report is presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Arthur Andersen LLP
acted as the Company's independent auditor in 2001. The Board of Directors has
not selected independent accountants for 2002 as of the date of this proxy
statement. Representatives of the independent accountants are not expected to
attend the Annual Meeting.
The fees paid to our independent auditor in 2001 were:
AUDIT FEES: $ 380,000
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES: $ 0
ALL OTHER FEES: $ 177,896
The fees included in "all other fees" relate primarily to audits of the
Company's subsidiaries and employee benefit plans, tax advice, and various
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
================================================================================
Have there been any business transactions between us and any director or officer
during the past year?
Mr. Blanchard served as a trustee and Chairman of the Administrative Committee
of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan through 2000 and currently serves as
Chairman of the Administrative Committee for the Savings Plans. He is
compensated at an hourly fee rate and is reimbursed for expenses. Total fees
paid in 2001 were $19,077.
================================================================================
Can I suggest an item for inclusion on next year's proxy statement?
An eligible stockholder who wants to have a qualified proposal considered for
inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
must notify the Corporate Secretary at: DynCorp, 11710 Plaza America Drive,
Reston, Virginia 20190-6039 of that desire. The proposal must be received at the
Company's offices no later than February 25, 2003. In order to be eligible to
submit a proposal, the stockholder must have been a registered or beneficial
