V2X

V2X is a US defense contractor providing services in Iraq, including support for the Iraqi government's F-16 fighter jet program. The company is currently newsworthy due to escalating security concerns for its employees stationed at Iraqi military bases. Recent events include a drone attack on Erbil airbase on March 24th, resulting in the death of a Kenyan V2X employee and injuries to five others. Furthermore, reports indicate that hundreds of V2X contractors are stranded on Martyr Brigadier General Ali Flaih Air Base (formerly Balad Air Base) near Baghdad, facing potential attacks from Iran-backed militants, with no apparent evacuation plan in place. These incidents highlight the risks faced by contractors in conflict zones and raise questions about the safety measures and support provided by V2X to its employees in Iraq.
