Defending the "Green Zone"

On November 4, 2005, Paul Martin reported in the Washington Times that "British-based Global Strategies Group lost the contract" to defend Baghdad's "Green Zone" "in an open bidding process and handed over responsibility" to Triple Canopy Inc. on November 1, 2005,

"Iraqi officials security inside Baghdad's heavily fortified green zone could be compromised by the turnover," Martin wrote.

"Another concern is that Triple Canopy employees have been recruited mainly in Latin America and speak little English. Global Strategies relies heavily on British-trained Nepalese Gurkhas and Sri Lankans, a majority of whom speak at least some English and often speak it well. ... 'A delay in communicating a problem because the guard cannot speak English down his walkie-talkie can have fatal consequences,' said a security specialist familiar with procedures in Baghdad.

"Yet another worry is over internal discipline. Fights already have broken out between Peruvian and Chilean guards, according to an American businessman living inside the green zone. 'Apparently they had some scores to settle from past conflicts in that continent,' he said."
