DynCorp is a private military contractor with close ties to the CIA. In 2020, Dyncorp was bought by defense support services conglomerate Amentum. On April 21, 2021, the DynCorp name was discontinued, and employees and services transferred to Amentum,[1] where the same operations happens under a new name.
Contents
History
DynCorp began in 1946 as a project of a small group of returning World War II pilots seeking to use their military contacts to make a living in the air cargo business. Named California Eastern Airways, the original company was soon airlifting supplies to Asia used in the Korean War. By 2002 Dyncorp, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, was the nation's 13th largest military contractor with $2.3 billion in revenue until it merged with Computer Sciences Corporation, an El Segundo, California-based technology services company, in an acquisition worth nearly $1 billion.
Activities
DynCorp handled the data processing for many federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control, the Department of Agriculture[2], the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, and several branches of the Department of Justice[3], and the Securities and Exchange Commission [4] DynCorp was able to access e-mails, digital communications and other sensitive information, including about ongoing investigation in for example Enron.
Dyncorp was also in charge of the border posts between the US and Mexico, many of the Pentagon's weapons-testing ranges and the entire Air Force One fleet of presidential planes and helicopters. The company also reviewed security clearance applications of military and civilian personnel for the Navy.[5]
Vaccines
DynCorp was awarded a $322 million contract on November 12, 2001 to develop, produce, test and store FDA-licenced "vaccines" for use by the US Department of Defence against anthrax and smallpox.[6][7]
In 1997, DynPort was created as a joint venture of DynCorp and Porton International Inc. 2002-2003 Robert Malone worked for DynPort on the smallpox vaccine, including the clinical research at the U. of Kentucky Med Center on volunteers.[8][9]
Spy software
DynCorp had direct connections both to the mass-surveillance software PROMIS[10], the Inslaw scandal and to the fraudulent and deep state connected energy company Enron.[4]
Sex trafficking of children in Bosnia
In the late 1990s two employees, Ben Johnston, a former DynCorp aircraft mechanic, and Kathryn Bolkovac, a U.N. International Police Force monitor, independently alleged that DynCorp employees in Bosnia engaged in sex with minors and sold them to one other as slaves.[11][12] Johnston and Bolkovac were fired, and Johnston was later placed into protective custody before leaving several days later.[13] Johnston stated:
"DynCorp is just as immoral and elite as possible, and any rule they can break they do.[5]
On June 2, 2000, an investigation was launched in the DynCorp hangar at Comanche Base Camp, one of two U.S. bases in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and all DynCorp personnel were detained for questioning.[13] CID spent several weeks investigating and the results appear to support Johnston's allegations.[13] DynCorp had fired five employees for similar illegal activities prior to the charges.[14][15] Many of the employees accused of sex trafficking were forced to resign under suspicion of illegal activity. As of 2014 no one had been prosecuted.[16]
In 2002 Bolkovac filed a lawsuit in Great Britain against DynCorp for unfair dismissal due to a protected disclosure (whistleblowing), and won.[17] Bolkovac co-authored a book with Cari Lynn titled The Whistleblower: Sex Trafficking, Military Contractors And One Woman's Fight For Justice. In 2010 the film The Whistleblower, starring Rachel Weisz and Vanessa Redgrave, was released.[18][19][20]
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s suspected trafficking aircraft shared the same tail number as a State department Bronco used under contract by DynCorp. The use of the tail number can be corroborated by official government records.[21] This would mean that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked underage girls using aircraft of the same tail number and during the same time period as DynCorp when they trafficked minors in Bosnia and other parts of the Balkan states.[22]
Kosovo War
In the preparations for the Kosovo War in 1998-99, 150 Dyncorp mercenaries[23] were used GPS equipment to map Yugoslav military and civilian infrastructure for the planned NATO bombing campaign. The Dyncorp personnel were working under cover of the Kosovo Verification Mission (KVM), a ceasefire "verification” mission from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The KVM was led by the spooky diplomat William Walker, former U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador during its civil war.
The U.S. quickly formed the nucleus of Walker’s team of 1,380 members. Walker’s deputy, Gabriel Keller, France’s former Ambassador to Yugoslavia, accused Walker of sabotaging the KVM, and CIA sources later admitted that the KVM was a “CIA front” to coordinate with the KLA and spy on Yugoslavia. [24][25]
Iraq
DynCorp trained the post-Saddam police force in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.[26]
Afghanistan
DynCorp troops protected Afghan puppet president Hamid Karzai.[5] It also trained the Afghan police force, did a "subpar job" on lucrative construction projects, and received contracts for "counter-narcotics". For the period 2002-2017, the State Department paid nearly $4 billion for projects to aid in Afghan reconstruction. $2.5 billion of that went to DynCorp, which is 69% of all the money awarded by the State Department over almost the entire duration of the occupation.[27]
In 2009, it was exposed as having hired an Afghani teenage boy (i.e. sex slave) to dress as a girl and dance at a company party.[28][29]
DynCorp's drug problem
DynCorp, charged with the fumigation of coca and poppy fields under Plan Colombia, has also been caught exporting drugs. DynCorp’s private pilots in the Andes fly everything from fixed-wing fumigation runs to helicopter-borne interdiction missions ferrying troops into hot spots.
On May 12, 2000, officers of Colombia’s National Police force intercepted and opened, a US-bound Federal Express package at Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport. The parcel “contained two small bottles of a thick liquid” that “had the same consistency as motor oil.” A police communiqué reported that the liquid substance “tested positive for heroin” and that the “alleged heroin laced liquid weighed approximately 250 grams.” Such motor oil samples routinely shipped to DynCorp facilities at Patrick AFB in the United States[30]
