ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 16, 2006 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC, a subsidiary of Raytheon Company, and Computer Sciences Corporation have established the Warrior Training Alliance (WTA), whose member companies are dedicated to providing integrated training support to the U.S. Army warfighter.
