Blue Hackle

Budget demands of U.S. Government agencies do not mean that the security of a mission should be compromised.  Blue Hackle delivers timely and affordable solutions due to our global presence and experienced former special forces/military staff who understand your mission and culture, and management and supervisory personnel who are available 24-hours a day and responsive to all contract and operational needs.  We provide these services discreetly, professionally, and globally.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHALLENGES

Blue Hackle understands your challenges.  U.S. Government agencies need a comprehensive solution to establish quality risk mitigation strategies and support to secure physical assets and personnel.  Poor or aggressive security can lead to political consequences that will negatively impact your agency’s mission critical goals. You need OCONUS and/or CONUS support for the unique challenges that your personnel and warfighters may face at any time.  The security challenges of these regions may include the following:

• Challenging Environments. These vary from isolated locations to difficult urban and semi urban locations. While the locations are unique, the necessity for well-designed and executed security principles remains the same.
• Protection of People. Terrorist attacks, IEDs, kidnapping, extortion, sabotage, theft, and sectarian violence create hostile and dangerous environments for your personnel or create civilian casualties.
• Protection of Facilities.  Daily threats of attack to Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), on-site facilities, and infrastructure disrupts your agency’s mission and increases risk of scope creep.
• Cultural Challenges. Misunderstanding the cultural nuances of a region could result in poor relationships with the local populace.
• Logistics. Securing the movements and communications of your workforce between bases or project sites are difficult without the proper situational awareness of security threats en route.
• Loss of Property.  Loss of critical assets in theater or in the field can lead to intellectual property theft of sensitive information that will harm the success of your mission.

PERSONNEL TO MEET YOUR CHALLENGES

Blue Hackle has the personnel to meet your challenges.   Your complex security requirements demand highly trained and knowledgeable personnel who can meet your challenges from Day One. We will provide mature professionals who are culturally acclimated and comfortable in the region and environment in which you operate.  Since 2004, Blue Hackle employees have successfully executed U.S. Government security contracts in remote, austere, and high-risk security environments like Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, and Lebanon.  Our personnel will:

• Improve operational awareness to secure your personnel, facilities, and Forward Operating Bases (FOB).
• Maintain a deliberately low-profile security presence.
• Understand your Agency and work culture, as our staff includes experienced UK and U.S. Expats knowledgeable with extensive  military, Special Operations, intelligence, security, anti-terrorism, and counter-terrorism credentials.
• Minimize violence against personnel or theft of equipment and/or sensitive intelligence.
• Work by, with, and through local governments and the populace to achieve buy-in and maintain a reliable workforce.

We recruit, train, and retain only the highest caliber security personnel and other professionals to secure lives, protect assets, and reduce risk.  Please click here for more information about why Blue Hackle leadership and staff are qualified to help you with all your Agency security needs.

LOWERING YOUR RISK

Blue Hackle will lower your risk. The most effective security is multi-layered and multi-dimensional. Multi-layered security is the physical, human, and electronic means to manage, mitigate, and minimize security risks.   Multi-dimensional security involves security capabilities beyond mitigating immediate risks.  Blue Hackle has pioneered this form of analysis and operational technique, and will optimize it to your industry to meet your security needs.
