Pursuant to contracts clauses within this Contract, Contractors are required to obey all laws, regulations,
orders and directives when hiring armed private security. Failure to comply with all laws, regulations,

5. Afghan National Police (ANP) security forces;
6. Afghan Public Protection Force (APPF).
b. The Contractor may use one or a combination of more than one of these sources of security assets in
its Security Program. The GIROA has announced plans to limit or eliminate legal use of PSCs and
Contractor-provided, self-security in the near future.
c. At present, use of PSCs and/or Contractor-provided self-security may be prohibited in some areas of
the country, or may shortly be prohibited. The Contractor shall take into account these possible
developments as it considers and implements its security options.
