More about Private Security Companies

The latest GAO report on the use of private security providers (PSP) in Iraq concludes that there has not been much improvement. There is little coordination between the military and the PSPs increasing risk to both groups. The military is not trained on how to deal with the PSPs. Most importantly, the screening of people working for a PSP leaves much to be desired; it is likely that there are criminals working for some PSPs.

It's as I said last year - pretty shitty command.
