A long established private military contractor. Whistleblowers have alleged that the group engages in child sex trafficking amongst other activities.

DynCorp is a private military contractor with close ties to the CIA.

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

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.[1][2] Johnston and Bolkovac were fired, and Johnston was later placed into protective custody before leaving several days later.[3]

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.[3] CID spent several weeks investigating and the results appear to support Johnston's allegations.[3] DynCorp had fired five employees for similar illegal activities prior to the charges.[4][5] 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.[6]

In 2002 Bolkovac filed a lawsuit in Great Britain against DynCorp for unfair dismissal due to a protected disclosure (whistleblowing), and won.[7] 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.[8][9][10]

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.[11]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.[12]

Kosovo War

In the preparations for the Kosovo War in 1998-99, 150 Dyncorp mercenaries[13] 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. [14][15]

DynCorp's drug problem

DynCorp, charged with the fumigation of coca and poppy fields under Plan Colombia, has also been caught exporting drugs. Consulting giant 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[16]
