N.B. DID believes the Pentagon meant to say “Global Linguistic Solutions LLC,” instead of “Global Language Systems L.L.C.” in their release, and has presented this article as such. Jabra Gheim has some impressive translation qualifications and excellent testimonials; he both trains US personnel and creates standard training material at the Defense Language Institute and West Point Academy. Still, a $4.65 billion contract vehicle is pretty unique.
