Blackwater was founded in 1997 from a clear vision developed from an understanding of the need for innovative, flexible training and security solutions to support freedom and democracy everywhere.
Our founder is a former U. S. Navy SEAL. He founded Blackwater on the belief that both the military and law enforcement establishments would require additional capacity to train fully our brave men and women in uniform to the standards required to keep our country secure and to help ensure peace and security, and freedom and democracy everywhere.
Blackwater USA consists of six separate business units: Blackwater Training Center (the largest private firearms and tactical training center in the U. S.), Blackwater Target Systems, Blackwater Security Consulting, Blackwater Aviation Worldwide Services, Blackwater Canine, and Raven Development Group.
We are not simply a "private security company." We are a turnkey solution provider for 4th generation warfare. We assist with the development of national and global security plans, train, equip and deploy public safety and military warriors, build combat live-fire indoor/outdoor ranges, MOUT facilities and shoot houses, create ground and aviation operations and logistics support packages, develop and execute canine solutions for patrol and explosive detection, and can design and build facilities both domestically and in austere environments abroad.
Blackwater lives its core values of excellence, efficiency, execution, and teamwork. In doing this, we have become the most responsive, cost-effective means of affecting the strategic balance in support of freedom and democracy everywhere.
SEALs have a reputation contary to the article quoted.
