Corporate history
1997: Blackwater USA
Blackwater USA was formed in
1997, by Al Clark[12] and Erik
Prince in North Carolina, to
provide training support to
military and law enforcement
organizations. In explaining
Blackwater's purpose, Prince
stated: "We are trying to do for
the national security apparatus
what FedEx did for the Postal
Service".[13] After working with
SEAL and SWAT teams, Blackwater
USA received its first government
contract after the bombing of the
USS Cole off of the coast of
Yemen in October 2000. After
winning the bid on the contract,
Jamie Smith ran the program at
Blackwater that trained over
100,000 sailors.[14]
1998: Training center opens
Prince purchased approximately
7,000 acres (28 km2) of the
Great Dismal Swamp, a vast
swamp on the North Carolina–
Virginia border that is now
mostly a national wildlife refuge,
from Dow Jones executive Sean
Trotter. "We needed 3,000 acres
to make it safe," Prince told
reporter Robert Young Pelton.
[15] There, he created his private
training facility and his
contracting company,
Blackwater, which he named for
the peat-colored water of the
swamp.[16]
The Blackwater Lodge and
Training Center officially opened
on May 15, 1998 with a 6,000-
acre facility and cost $6.5 million.
[15] The training facility
comprises several ranges:
indoor, outdoor, urban
reproductions; an artificial lake;
and a driving track in Camden
and Currituck counties. The
company says it is the largest
training facility in the country.
The concept was not a financial
success and was kept financially
solvent by sales from sister
company Blackwater Target
Systems.[17]
2002–2007: Blackwater Security
Company
Jeremy Scahill has claimed that
Blackwater Security Company
(BSC) was the brainchild of Jamie
Smith, a former CIA officer who
became Vice President of
Blackwater USA and the
Founding Director of Blackwater
Security Company, holding both
positions simultaneously.[18]
However, this claim is denied by
Prince and Blackwater executive
Gary Jackson who describe firing
Smith from his position as a low-
level administrator for "non-
performance" after a 30-day
contract. Additionally, Smith has
been accused of further
embellishing his military and
contracting record to defraud
investors at SCG International
Risk[19]
2003–2006: First contracts
BSC's first assignment was to
provide 20 men with top secret
clearance to protect the CIA
headquarters and another base
that was responsible for hunting
Osama bin Laden.[20] Blackwater
was one of several private
security firms employed
following the U.S. invasion of
Afghanistan. BSC was originally
formed as a Delaware LLC and
was one of over 60 private
security firms employed during
the Iraq War to guard officials
and installations, train Iraq's new
army and police, and provide
other support for coalition
forces.[21] Smith left Blackwater
to start his own firm, SCG
International Risk, in 2003.
Blackwater was also hired during
the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina by the United States
Department of Homeland Security
, as well as by private clients,
including communications,
petrochemical, and insurance
companies.[why?][22] Overall,
the company received over US$1
billion in U.S. government
contracts.[23] The company
consisted of nine divisions and a
subsidiary, Blackwater Vehicles. |
