Hmmm. Walter must be reading FedBiz Opps too? LOL. I suspect that the TWISS program is the model for this gig in Afghanistan and hopefully some more jobs will be popping up soon. The real irony about the war and the state of the economy, is that if the allies wanted an instant army, they could snap their fingers and thousands of contractors would sign on. The only problem I see, is how the allies manage and regulate this massive resource of on-call professionals. We are a tool, use us correctly!
The security contracting industry, if regulated properly and well managed, will certainly be a force multiplier for the client. Arguably, it has, but with a few hiccups. It just needs some quality control, quality control, and more quality control, and this industry would be awesome. Did I say quality control enough? The companies cannot be expected to police themselves, and the client(that means you Uncle Sam and the rest of the world), needs to get off their ass and actually apply some quality control.
Use your sword to fight your enemies, not crush rock or cement with it. Industry can be incredibly useful in this asymetric/all volunteer/fourth generation war, and to not use us properly is just plain lazy and dumb. There are even some of us in this industry that would love to sit down with any of the decision makers out there and provide some solutions. Insh’allah! –Head Jundi

Private Contractors Sought As Guards in Afghanistan
By Walter Pincus
Monday, December 8, 2008; A17
The U.S. Army is looking to private contractors to provide armed security guards to protect Forward Operating Bases in seven provinces in southern Afghanistan. In a recent study, Anthony H. Cordesman, an intelligence expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, described five of those provinces — Helmand, Kandahar, Nimruz, Zabol and Uruzgan — as among the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan.
The proposed contracts would be for a minimum of one year, beginning Jan. 1, but with options to continue for four years. The move to hire contractors to provide armed guards comes as the United States is deploying more American troops to Afghanistan and looking to double the size of the Afghan National Army from 80,000 to 162,000 over the next five years.
