CACI International, Inc. is a privately owned American military company headquartered in Arlington , Virginia . The company was founded in 1962 as California Analysis Center, Inc. , renamed Consolidated Analysis Centers, Inc. in 1967 and CACI, Inc. in 1973 before changing its name to its current name in 1985.
CACI International, Inc. was founded by Herb Karr and Harry M. Markowitz to commercialize the SIMSCRIPT simulation programming language. The company is divided into two divisions: CACI Federal, is responsible for business with the government in the USA, while CACI, Ltd. Offers consumer and market studies in the UK, for example ACORN . The main business areas are:
- Engineering and logistics services
- Knowledge management
- Operation of computer networks and consultancy on outsourcing measures
- Enterprise application integration
In 2003, CACI employees were used as interrogators in the US prison Abu Ghraib in Iraq. Two US Army investigative reports concluded that CACI people were involved in ill-treatment.
But CACI emphasizes on its homepage that it has done nothing wrong in Iraq and that it is “proud of its work in Iraq and its other efforts in the war on terrorism” .
CACI founder and current CEO J. Phillip London sees himself in a battle "against false and malicious reports from the raging media" that "put the company's dedicated people and its excellent reputation at risk" and remains "with honors held high" .
Critics like to refer to CACI as "Colonels and Captains, Inc." or "Captains and Commanders, Inc.". This is to indicate the frequent changes of high-ranking military personnel in the company.
A CACI official was mentioned in a 2004 report on the mistreatment in Iraq's Abu Ghuraib prison , but was later exonerated as innocent. In May 2008 an Iraqi filed a lawsuit against CACI International , CACI Premier Technology and another privately owned military company ( L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. ) for allowing their employees to detain him without charge between September 2003 and July 2004 Holding Abu Ghraib and abusing it physically and mentally for months.
The Iraqi Taha Yaseen Arraq Rashid (* 1982), who reported CACI for torture during his three-month interrogation in 2009 and whose trial is still ongoing in 2014, received an advance invoice from CACI in the summer of 2013 in the amount of US $ 15,580.
US government contracts
The US secret services assign various tasks, e.g. B. for intelligence surveillance, to private companies. In 2013, the most important companies, including CACI, received almost $ 190 billion for their work for the American secret services, which is said to make up around 70% of the total secret service volume. Many companies were able to multiply their sales through the US government contracts after September 11, 2001 .
