Rumaila - private security detachment

One aspect of travelling around Basra is that security is still an issue, although nothing like the issue that it was a few years ago. To be prudent, the best private security companies provide well trained professionals who work in teams to keep their clients safe. The team that looked after me in Basra, were properly briefed with up-to-date intelligence, good equipment and very well  trained. The number of Iraqis working for such companies is on the increase, and the combination of local knowledge and ex-pat experience seems to work very well.
