As one of the leading private military contractors, Viriginia-based Dyncorp reported $1.96 billion in revenue for 2001, $6.8 billion in contract backlog, and a global network of more than 23,000 employees, providing a broad range of military services, everything from protecting borders to running the Naval Air Warfare Center to protecting Afghan president Hamid Karzai, according to the Center for Public Integrity. In 2000, Dyncorp employees who were supposed to be keeping the peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina were instead found participating in a sex-slavery ring.

The Multinational Monitor listed Dyncorp as one of the 10 Worst Corporations of 2002. The Monitor reported that farmers in Ecuador have accused the company of spraying them and their legal crops with toxic herbicides during coca-eradication operations. Working with the International Labor Rights Fund, the farmers allege that the spraying has had serious effects on their children, causing deformities, major internal bleeding, and, in some cases, deaths of infants.
