TigerSwan is doing this the smart way. Getting in with local Iraqi security companies and also providing linguists for projects is the way to go, as we slowly transition out of Iraq. And this company has all the goods to make this contract work because they are all former CAG guys. So businesses should feel at least somewhat comfortable that they have some competent folks in charge.
Definitely sign up for their news letter and check their career page every now and then, because I am sure we will see more security related jobs pop up in the future. Especially if Iraq plans on capitalizing on their oil fields and increasing their output big time. –Matt
