British Troops @ LONDON 2012
About 3,500 serving soldiers from the British troops have been called up at the last moment as replacement security staff for the LONDON 2012.
Initially G4S Secure Solutions (UK) has been appointed official Security Services Provider for the London Games in March 2011. Due to a shortage of adequately trained G4S security staff, the UK Govt announced that 3,500 British troops would be deployed with up to 2,000 more if needed only on July 12 2012, just 15 days before the Games.
G4S plc (formerly Group 4 Securicor) is a British multinational security services company, is the world's largest security company measured by revenues and has operations in more than 125 countries with over 657,000 employees.
Olympics staffing episode, a "humiliating shambles", wiped off £700 million worth of share value from beleaguered security firm G4S.
