RAF Blenheim Crescent Security

Private Security Contractors (PSCs) contracted by the U.S. Government

(USG) operate as one means of a whole-of-government approach to support peace

and stability initiatives in areas of armed conflict, post-conflict, comparable situations

and in peace/routine garrison operations. Where military or other government security

forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate, PSCs protect relief, recovery,

reconstruction activity from theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful

activities in addition to emergent security requirements in stable garrison

environments, Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). This encompasses

planned security initiatives, capacity-building efforts, and support for ongoing stability

and peacekeeping operations. Effective discipline, training, and oversight of USG

contracted PSCs builds the confidence of the local population, reduces the risk of

civilians and civilian activities becoming targets, and supports the restoration or

protection of the rule of law. To accommodate this objective, this performance-based

statement of work provides a full spectrum of private security functions in support of

contingency operations, other significant military operations, humanitarian, and peace

operations, exercises or garrison operations.
