State Department has contracted DynCorp International to provide aviation and support services in Iraq. Under the award, DynCorp would replace the former Blackwater, which was the only major U.S. security contractor with an aviation fleet in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East. "This award is a tremendously important opportunity for DynCorp International to support the safety and security of U.S. diplomatic personnel serving in Iraq," DynCorp International chief executive officer William Ballhaus said. 
Private security contractors mostly base their decision to sign-up on reasons such as feeling of patriotic duty, the life style, and the monetary reward. Thousands of private contractors are working in Afghanistan while some thirty thousand are working in Iraq. These private soldiers make up the second largest troop force in the "Coalition of the Willing" in Iraq. The U.S. endeavor in both Afghanistan and Iraq relies heavily on the services provided by these hired guns.
In May 2009, DynCorp replaced Blackwater as the leading security contractor for the State Department. Blackwater, responsible for aviation services as well, was banned from operating in Iraq in wake of the prosecution of six former security officers linked to a shootout in Baghdad in 2007 in which 16 civilians were killed.
