Por poner algo de información real sobre el tema que atañe al hilo:
[b][url=http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/09/blackwater-self-defense-academi/]Ex-Blackwater Firm Will Teach Military Spies Self-Defense[/url][/b] escribió:Now that the private security company formerly known as Blackwater is under new ownership, it’s entering into a new partnership with the Defense Department. The U.S. military’s intelligence service is hiring the firm, along with five others, to train its operatives to defend themselves as they collect information in dangerous places — something particularly salient as the Mideast continues to light up with anti-American fervor.

The Defense Intelligence Agency announced on Thursday evening it would award six private security companies a share of a $20 million contract to provide “individual protective measures training courses” for its operatives. Among them is Academi, the 3.0 version of Blackwater, now under new ownership and management. It appears to be the first Blackwater/Academi contract with the military since a Blackwater “shell company” called Paravant held one to train Afghan policemen — and used it to steal their guns for personal use, while posing as South Park characters to disguise their tracks.

And this isn’t just any old training contract. It’s part of an effort to prepare the Defense Intelligence Agency’s information gatherers for work in the rugged, remote, and unpleasant parts of the world. “The training is designed for personnel before they leave on overseas deployments,” reads a description of the contract, “to provide them with a foundation of hard and soft skills relevant to living and working in hostile and austere environments.” Nor is it a one-off: the training contract has a five-year life span.


The announcement comes at a time when Washington is alarmed by the ability of a militant group to launch a deadly assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. As Danger Room has reported, the U.S. has flown surveillance drones over Libya ever since last year’s war, but it remains unclear if the attackers evaded the U.S.’ electronic spy tools by communicating in person.

Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the new director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, appears to be concerned by that intelligence vulnerability. Flynn led a transformation in the Joint Special Operations Command that got its troops thinking of themselves as intelligence collectors and the command as an organization that rapidly synthesizes and acts on acquired information. That cultural shift is credited as a key factor behind the command’s effectiveness.

Now Flynn leads the intelligence service entrusted with the Defense Department’s entire human intelligence network. One of his first messages to his workforce as Defense Intelligence Agency director emphasized bolstering that network as a top priority: “We must strengthen our human intelligence collection against strategic defense targets growing more difficult to penetrate.” The agency’s strategic plan promises: “DIA’s expeditionary charter to deploy its workforce to conflict zones, areas of emerging threats, combatant commands, U.S. embassies, and our allies’ military headquarters, to name a few, will be vigorously exercised over the next five years and likely beyond.”

Training intelligence collectors to live in uncomfortable, rugged places looks like a step toward that goal — and the goal of preventing future Benghazis.

It’s unclear if this is the first U.S. military contract Academi holds since the firm came under its new ownership and attempted to draw a bright line under its former incarnation as Blackwater and Xe Services. An Academi spokesman declined to comment for this article until the contract is finalized. But if it’s not the first new contract of the Academi era, it’s among the first — and it represents another chance for the firm to prove that its days of gun running, drug abuse and civilian casualties are in the past.
Flynn fue uno de los dos responsables del incremento de las capacidades en inteligencia del JSOC durante las operaciones en Irak. Parte de esas capacidades fueron subcontratadas a través de empresas de The Prince Group.

Noticia muy interesante... justo una semana después de que hayan subido los sueldos para los PSS de Academi, hasta 559$/día.
[b]ACADEMI and PwC Enter Joint Business Relationship[/b] escribió:
Two companies to provide top-tier solutions to businesses operating in security-challenged environments.

McLean, VA (PRWEB) July 15, 2013

ACADEMI, an elite global provider of security solutions for business and government, has entered into a joint business relationship with PwC, the world’s largest professional services firm that streamlines operational processes and management reporting of risk for clients around the globe.

By combining ACADEMI’s expertisein security assessment, training and protection with PwC’s world-class record of providing professional services, the partnership allows both companies to offer clients one-stop shopping for solutions aimed at improving and maximizing business performance.

“We are excited to form a Joint Business Relationship with PwC and look forward to joint engagements that maximize our strengths to bring holistic security solutions to clients across the globe,” said ACADEMI CEO Craig Nixon.

ACADEMI Executive Vice President Suzanne Rich Folsom added, “We could not be more pleased with the formation of a Joint Business Relationship with PwC—an initiative that will expand our existing relationship, enable us to jointly pursue business opportunities, and provide more integrated solutions for our clients.”

“The formalization of a Joint Business Relationship between ACADEMI and PwC was a natural next step for two world-class service companies that have worked together on a number of projects in recent years,” noted Jack Quinn, Chairman of QGA Public Affairs and former White House Counsel who serves as an independent director on ACADEMI’s Board of Directors and as a co-chair of the Board’s Governance Committee.

Parece ser que Academi se une a la asociación ISOA.

Este video no se si estará en alguna otra parte del foro, (área de terrorismo,etc), pero al menos no lo he encontrado. Lo coloco en este hilo porque al parecer interviene en el coloquio uno de los directivos de Academi, junto con gente cercana a la CIA y de otras agencias de seguridad importantes. Es en un foro de seguridad, una charla del Instituto Aspen (increíble la lista y el poder de la gente de este instituto). Hablan sobre terrorismo. La empresa Academi está en primera línea, se relacionan con los más poderosos.

Hace algunos años, contratistas de Blackwater se vieron envueltos en un grave incidente, donde al parecer, según la prensa, murieron tiroteadas varias personas indefensas, incluidas mujeres y niños. El caso se vuelve a situar en los tribunales, siendo en esta ocasión las acusaciones más graves que en el anterior procedimiento. Creo que es importante para los miles de contratistas de todos los países que trabajan con profesionalidad y buen hacer en la industria, que se aclaren los hechos, así como para las familias de las víctimas inocentes. Del mismo modo que si alguien ha sido imputado injustamente también se aclare. El proceso parece ser que se prolongará años.
