Dallas, TX (July 17, 2006) - DynCorp International Inc. (NYSE: DCP) today

Mr. Lanese is a former president, executive vice president and chief financial
officer of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, where he played a critical role in the

"Herb Lanese has an impressive track record in leadership roles in significant
organizations," said Robert McKeon, chairman of DynCorp International. "The
fundamentals of our business are robust and we are confident Herb will solidly
position us to execute our strategic priorities. His experience and valuable
insights made him an esteemed member of our Board and a strong choice to lead
the company in building on the strong existing platform."

Mr. McKeon continued, "We thank Steve for his significant contributions during a
critical period for DynCorp International, and his skill in guiding the company
through two landmark events: our acquisition of the company in 2005 and the
recent initial public offering. We wish him well in whatever he chooses to take
on in the future."

"I know DynCorp International well, and know it to be a dynamic company with
