Global Market Link Awarded Engagement to Advise Middle East Contractor Supporting Operation "Iraqi Freedom" Termination Claims

    COLLEYVILLE, TX, December 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Global Market Link (GML), a U.S.-based business consulting firm, provides business advisory services to international companies doing business in the Middle East.

"For the past five years, GML consultants have worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Horn of Africa providing procurement and acquisition management expertise to prime contractors supporting Department of Defense and Department of State mission needs for the United States Government (USD)," said W. Tompie Hall, CEO of GML.

With the recent demobilization order and withdrawal of military forces from Iraq by 31 December 2011, both U.S. and regional Arab companies will be required to process what is called Termination-For-Convenience (TFC) Claims. "The TFC claim effort will be massive and contractors will be required to capture all their demobilization costs or risk leaving money on the table," Hall went on to say.

At the peak, U.S. military had more than 170,000 troops, 500 bases, numerous command and control centers, thousands of computers, trucks, tents, hundreds of dining facilities serving in excess of 500,000 meals a day. "Its one of the largest removal jobs in history, just the scale of the effort is difficult to grasp...there's only one military in the world that has the logistics capabilities to pull it off and that's the U.S. Department of Defense," said Hall.
