STRATCOM, the U.S. military's Strategic Operations Command, has awarded its new contract for foreign media monitoring to SOS International [3]. Perennial Pentagon favorite the Rendon Group [4] formerly held the contract. SOS will track "foreign press in several languages across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Mexico with a focus on the so-called Global War on Terrorism," reports O'Dwyer's PR Daily. The contract is worth up to $67 million through 2010. SOS "was one of four companies awarded a multi-million contract with the FBI [5] last year to train and provide role players to support the Bureau's nationwide counterintelligence training program." It's also worked for the United Nations [6], providing "anti-money laundering training" in Nigeria; for Kellogg Brown and Root [7], providing linguists; and for the National Security Agency [8].
