Aegis Actively Seeking to Hire War Veterans

Aegis and HireVeterans.com Have Partnered to Employ War Veterans

By K. Morgan Barker

Aegis announces that they have joined forces with HireVeterans.com to employ America’s war veterans. War veterans have a history of being on the cutting-edge of military technology and security. Veterans are leaders in their own right, yet they exemplify teamwork and are professionals under pressure. Aegis recognizes that America’s veterans have the skills and discipline they value to propel their company even further as a top international player in the security and risk management business sector.

Military veterans fit hand-in-glove with Aegis due to their extensive training and expertise in the armed forces. Aegis recognizes few employees will ever bring the skills, integrity, discipline and commitment that war veterans inherently offer.

Aegis is based in London and is a privately owned British security and risk management company with overseas offices in Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Kenya, Nepal and the USA. They have substantial experience and a world-wide client-base, including governments, international agencies and the multinational corporate sector. They are a registered and active UN contractor, a major security provider to the US government and security advisor to the Lloyds Joint War Risk Committee.

Iraq veterans know that the Aegis Foundation has been active right across Iraq since 2004 and has completed a wide range of projects assisting communities in urgent need, from providing clean drinking water for schools and inoculations against water-borne diseases to supplying hospitals and medical clinics with generators and essential equipment.

Case Studies

Aegis in Iraq – Enabling Reconstruction

Since June 2004, Aegis has been under contract to the US Department of Defense to provide security support services to the Project and Contracting Office (PCO), responsible for managing the reconstruction program in Iraq. Known as Project Matrix, it is a reconstruction–enabling operation that sits at the core of the Coalition’s Nation–building endeavors. It harnesses the support of Coalition Forces to the reconstruction effort, thus reducing to a minimum friction between the civilian and military operations, and provides those engaged in reconstruction with a situational awareness they would not otherwise have had.

To achieve this, Aegis has established a Security Framework of Reconstruction Operations Centres (ROCs) throughout Iraq. There are six sited alongside regional Coalition Military headquarters and a National Reconstruction Operations Centre in Baghdad. Through these, Aegis maintains a situational awareness of logistical movement and reconstruction security operations allows sharing of intelligence among security forces and reconstruction contractors, effects co–ordination and liaison between reconstruction and military activity and provides threat assessments and intelligence to contractors. The ROCs also provide continuous information on the viability of road movement throughout Iraq, which is tracked by a system of transponders, complementary to the US Military’s ‘Blue Force Tracker.’ In the event of an emergency, whether caused by Insurgent attack or vehicle breakdown, Quick Reaction Forces are dispatched by helicopter or road.

As well as security advice, coordination and emergency backup to Prime Contactors, Aegis supplies a static guardforce to protect the headquarters of the PCO and US Corps of Engineers and a small close protection and vehicle escort capability to provide mobile security for journeys throughout Iraq to visit reconstruction projects.

In addition to its primary tasks, Aegis also conducts a self–funded civil affairs program. Its aim is to facilitate reconstruction in areas where the local people are hostile and to fill unforeseen gaps in PCO–funded projects. Activities such as inoculation programs in Nasiriyah and donations of school books throughout the country, build substantial returns of goodwill. Much of this work is funded through the Aegis Foundation.

Aegis also provides a number of expatriate–led and Iraqi–manned Reconstruction Liaison Teams that routinely travel the length and breadth of the country to monitor the progress of reconstruction work subcontracted to Iraqi building companies. Typically, this involves week–long expeditions to remote areas including along the Syrian and Iranian borders.

Supporting the Elections

In October 2005, Aegis was contracted by the UN Office for Project Support in support of the UN Electoral Assistance division (UNEAD) and the Independent Electoral Commission Iraq (IECI) to support the successful constitutional referendum in October and the General Election in December 2005. The requirement was to provide a mixed expatriate and Iraqi mobile security component to support electoral infrastructure inspection and liaison with the Governorate Electoral Officers and to provide static site security teams to electoral logistic sites in all 18 Governorate capitals throughout Iraq.

Commercial Contracts

In separate contracts, Aegis also provides security to a number of significant Blue Chip companies operating in Iraq.

If you are a war veteran and are interested in a career opportunity that includes an almost seamless transition from the Military and you would like to continue using your experience and skills in the civilian world doing something you love while also being paid well for it, follow the links below for more information:
