DynCorp is one of several firms contracted by the State Department to train and deploy the Haitian National Police (H.N.P.), which has replaced the army as Haiti's leading security force. After U.N. troops withdraw from Haiti, the Clinton Administration wants DynCorp's trainers to stay on as technical advisers to the police. DynCorp, according to Alex Cockburn and Jeff St. Clair, is the nation's twenty-second largest defense contractor with 1998 U.S. Government contract revenues of $475 million. DynCorp, which currently has between 300-600 contracted employees in Colombia, is performing functions like crop eradication (using defoliants – similar to those used in Vietnam), to sophisticated aerial reconnaissance, to combat advisory roles training military and possibly evenparamilitary forces.
