If you're not aware of who they are, they have constructed or headed rehab projects for facilities like DIA & NSA Headquarters. AECOM also delivered a broad range of program management support and technical expertise to the renovation and recovery of the Pentagon following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.<br /><br />They also seem to be involved in a lot of other activities like Kellogg, Brown and Root or Dyncorps.

They are going to be training individuals with explosives, driving cars and SUV's at high speeds and crashing...and they will be firing millions of bullets with various small arms on their multiple ranges, some with crew-service weapons with explosive warheads. These same individuals are are going to be living in the area and fighting wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia. Locations like this you don't publicize in the newspapers, you put them in the desert in New Mexico, where no one lives or you place them on MILITARY INSTALLATIONS or BASES. Why? For security reasons, to protect those who work there and the community they are in. Worse idea I've heard in a long time. Good place for this would be on a former / retired military installation, that was shut down during the Clinton Administration, not in a bedroom community where people don't want it to begin with!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-90687746686085317602010-02-03T16:58:49.290-08:002010-02-03T16:58:49.290-08:00No, the site that was finally chosen is in a prist...No, the site that was finally chosen is in a pristine rural area on the Eastern Shore. The contaminated site was Eastalco (see: http://skepticalbureaucrat.blogspot.com/2009/11/contaminated-industrial-site-proposed.html).<br /><br />The people who live around the chosen location would rather have the training center go up at Eastalco.TSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790614121966204073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-47015159835683504132010-02-03T11:50:08.463-08:002010-02-03T11:50:08.463-08:00DSS Diplomatic Security Service must have decided ...DSS Diplomatic Security Service must have decided to build their training center on top of that Toxic Waste Dump / Large Scale Aluminum Smelting Plant.
