Two Killed in Attack on Afghanistan Police Training Facility

FALLS CHURCH, Virginia (June 08, 2010) – An American police mentor and a Nepalese security guard working under DynCorp International’s Afghan police training contract were tragically killed on June 7, 2010, when insurgents attacked a police training facility in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Five others were injured in the attack.

Gary W. Willard, 44, of Resaca, Ga., deployed to Afghanistan as a police mentor on June 22, 2009. Prior to his work in Afghanistan, he was a sergeant with the Calhoun Police Department in Georgia. Earlier, he spent almost ten years with the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office in Dalton, Ga. Before his law enforcement career he was a member of the United States Marine Corps.

Hit Bahadur Gurung, 39, of Nepal worked as a security guard at the Kandahar police training facility.

“These men supported the mission in Afghanistan with courage, honor and excellence, and gave their lives in pursuit of a more secure Afghanistan,” said DynCorp International President and CEO Bill Ballhaus. “We extend our deepest sympathies to their families, loved ones and colleagues.”

DynCorp International supports the U.S. Department of State’s (DoS) International Civilian Police (CIVPOL) programs under contract with DoS’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).
