The events surrounding this seemingly benign mission sparked a major US military operation, as well as political and social upheaval within Iraq. The following actions are the contributing factors that led Academi to perform their mission in such a manner that led to this disaster: Economic Motivation According to a lawsuit, Nordan v. Blackwater Security Consulting, LLC, filed in North Carolina, the ill-fated March 31 mission was Academi’s attempt to prove to ESS it could deliver security service quickly and effectively while “ahead of schedule” (Scahill, 2007:224; Rasor and Bauman, 2007:102–103; Nordan, 2005:8–9, 10–12).

From 2001 through 2006, the Taliban, a defeated but not destroyed group, began operating as insurgents, fighting the international civil–military effort to rebuild Afghanistan (Phillips and Curtis, 2008:2–3, Kaplan and Bruno, 2008:4; Roggio, 2005:1–2). , 2008:14–15, 18–19; Elsea, 2007:13–14). It was in this environment that a myriad of PSCs entered into Afghanistan providing similar services to those in Iraq (del Prado, 2008:7; Taljaard, 2003:1; Howe, 1998:2–3).
These efforts were especially important to Al Anbar province, since in contrast to lowlevel insurgency and crime in the rest of Iraq, Al Anbar province—the heart of the Sunni Triangle and the anti-coalition insurgency west of Baghdad— presented an active insurgent infiltration route, sanctuary, training ground, and an ignitable mixture of discontent, and radicalism (Estes, 2009; Malkasian, 2006:428–430; Tarnoff, 2003:10). In the center of this anti-coalition activity sat the city of Fallujah, which had become a focal point for insurgent operations in Al Anbar province (Estes, 2009:28–30; Scahill, 2007:98–100; McGrath, 2006:117).
