ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
ITEM 5.02.  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
            APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

          On July 17, 2006, DynCorp International Inc. (the "Company") announced
that Stephen J. Cannon, President, Chief Executive Officer and director,
resigned from the Company and its affiliated entities effective July 17, 2006.
The Company also announced that Herbert J. Lanese, a member of the Company's
board of directors (the "Board"), former chairman of the compensation committee
and a member of the audit committee replaced Mr. Cannon as President and Chief
Executive Officer. Mr. Lanese has resigned from the compensation committee of
the Board but will continue to serve as a member of the Board and as a member of
the audit committee of the Board.

          Mr. Lanese will receive an annual base salary of $800,000 and will be
entitled to a target bonus of up to $1,000,000 per year, based on the
achievement of performance targets established by the compensation committee of
the Board. Mr. Lanese will also be granted an indirect equity interest in the
Company through the issuance of a 1.6% Class B interest in DIV Holding LLC, the
Company's Parent. Mr. Lanese's employment agreement in his new capacity as
President and Chief Executive Officer has not yet been finalized.

          The audit committee of the Board currently has three members, Charles
S Ream, Admiral Leighton W. Smith, Jr. and Mr. Lanese. The NYSE rules permit a
company listing on the NYSE in connection with its initial public offering to
have only one member of the audit committee comply with the independence
requirements on the date of listing, provided that a majority of the members
satisfy the requirements within 90 days after listing and all of the members
satisfy the requirements within one year after listing. Our Board has determined
that Messrs. Ream and Smith satisfy the independence requirements for service on
the audit committee and one additional independent director will join the audit
committee prior to the end of the one year phase-in period referenced above.

          A copy of the press release announcing the retirement of Mr. Cannon
and the appointment of Mr. Lanese is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

ITEM 9.01.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
