[http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8AM6RHO1.htm?campaign_id=apn_home_down Business Week] reported on June 12, 2005 that former operations chief for Custer Battles, [[Rob Roy Trumble]], has formed new companies to bid on contracts in Iraq. Two of Trumbles new companies, [[Emergent Business Services]] and [[Tarheel Training LLC]] are housed in the fromer office of Custer Battles at Suite 100 on Hammerlund Way in Middletown Rhode Island.
Interestingly enough, Rob Roy Trumble ''is'' a bona fide former member of the Ranger Regiment. Mr. Trumble served as a platoon leader in the 3d Ranger Battalion, and participated in Operation Just Cause, the invasion of Panamá.
Both companies are affiliated with the Romanian company, [[Danubia Global Inc.]] which is owned by [[Security Ventures International Ltd.]], a British Virgin Islands firm.
In addition, former chief financial officer [[Joseph Morris]], who had submitted fake invoices to the government which resulted in a suspension forbidding him from receiving "new public contracts in Iraq and elsewhere", has been working on reconstruction projects for [[Sallyport Global Holdings]]. Upon seeing Morris' name on the suspension list, Sallyport has said they will not renew his contract. Morris had claimed he has been exonerated for acting as a federal witness.
Morris, like Trumble, was a West Point classmate of both Custer and Battles, as were many other managers within the firm.
