     Expect a flurry of training and vetting to get this massive security force up and running. DoS and these companies have their work cut out for them. –Matt

TC lost the embassy gig in Iraq to SOC (potential of $974 million/5 year), and AGNA lost their gig at the Kabul Embassy to EODT( potential of $274 million/ 5 year).  Xe was able to get an award via International Development Solutions.
