Help wanted for search and rescue missions. Contact AFRICOM

This is strange.  AFRICOM is seeking a military contractor to conduct search and rescue operations using rotor and fixed wing aircraft for transport, insertion and extractions of personal in primary operating areas of West and North Africa. I thought Blackwater and other military contractors were verboten in the Obama regime.
