Thanks to David Isenberg for identifying this report and pointing out all the goodies. What was interesting to me was how absolutely vital contractors are to the logistics of the war in Afghanistan.  Especially for the routes coming out of Pakistan, because US military forces are not allowed to escort that stuff.  Nothing new, but […]

     The requirement includes, but is not limited to, fixed wing aircraft, personnel, equipment, tools, material, maintenance and supervision necessary to perform passenger, cargo, passenger and cargo combination (COMBI) and LCLA airdrop operations using STOL air transportation services between locations in the Areas of Responsibility (AOR) of Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan. The contractor […]

     I wanted to enter this into the record for LoM related stuff.  This is interesting that there seems to be more discussion going on about Article 1, Section 8, and finally we might get some serious critique on the matter. For an idea to be strong, it needs to be forged in the […]

     In Afghanistan, as in many cultures, a manly embrace is a time-honored tradition for warriors before they go off to face death. Thus, many suicide bombers never even make it out of their training camp or safe house, as the pressure from these group hugs triggers the explosives in suicide vests. According to […]

   Ok, my first thought on this, is that it sucks to be the number three guy in AQ.  It always seems like the number three guy gets killed all the time at all the countries AQ is operating at.  But this is a little different.  This is a big big fish, and we killed […]

   This sounds like a unique opportunity for any Swedish readers that are looking for work. (the job ad is pretty specific as to who can apply)  As to the company and it’s reputation, I don’t know anything about them and therefore can’t endorse them. Maybe some readers can provide a little data on these […]

     The contractor must provide personnel capable of facilitating, coordinating, obtaining, and reporting critical movement control data and information from the appropriate US government personnel at qualifications in transportation movement control procedures and operations. They shall have the ability to obtain necessary identification (i.e. CAC) to gain access to base camps within Afghanistan without […]

     I did not make this poster below, but I thought it was worthy of Feral Jundi.  There are tons of awesome drawings and posters that folks put up over at the Facebook group, and I am sure they are busy just processing all of them.  This little Facebook group is also pissing off all […]

   Wow.  What a catch, and I certainly hope they are able to get all the information they can out of this guy in order for us to get closer to Usama Bin Laden or Mullah Omar.  We can only hope, and this is some outstanding war news. -Matt

     Low pay, long-hour duty and no training negatively influence the morale of the guards who fail to satisfy the clients.
    ”I am continuously paying private security companies and changing guards, but now I feel obliged to arrange personal employees instead of hiring from a company as it failed me,” said a business man.
