Wow, this is kind of cool. Imagine this….DynCorp could be contracted to completely rebuild a country. lol From providing the security and stabilization services, to piecing together a crumbled executive branch, to setting up the judicial branch. This company can do it all now, and that is kind of awe inspiring. I guess you could call them the ultimate Sys Admin company.
They are not alone either, and last year, L3 bought their own international development firm called International Resources Group. Hmmmm. Interesting stuff and check out this article about this topic posted at the UN Dispatch. –Matt
