Want to dress up in a salwar kameeze and eat kabobs? This gig could be for you. The miltiary is looking for a private contractor to help run a terrorism and counter-insurgency course. This is total immersion, so you'll need to "replicate the customs and culture that would take place in a terrorist training camp, to include training at a remote location and serving a Middle Eastern meal."

That's not all...

During the course students should be exposed to worldwide terrorist ideology specifically: Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. In addition to operational planning exercises, Contractor should present lessons on: Islamic names and kunyas, radical Islam religions, selection and logistics of getting to a terrorist training camp, salat, and its role in the camps, roots of the global movement, inside al-Qaeda and their 11 year war, cell recruitment and internal security, evolution of Jihadists, targeted assassinations, historic attacks in the Middle-East, background behind the 2005 London bombings, Arab society and mindset, suicide bombings and attacks, and lessons learned from over 30 years of terrorism.


Students during the course are assigned to specific roles and stay in character throughout the week, acting out such activities, like "dealing with black-marketeers, customs within a camp (including salat), kidnapping, military council briefing, and other exercises."
