The U.S. Department of Defense is warning Veterans and service members that foreign governments and companies are targeting and recruiting U.S. and NATO trained military talent across specialties and career fields to train foreign militaries, foreign defense industries, or foreign government agencies to fill gaps in their military capabilities. By essentially training the trainer, many of those who accept contracts with these foreign companies are eroding our national security, putting the very safety of their fellow service members and our country at risk, potentially violating U.S. law.
Often, foreign government involvement is not communicated outright, highlighting the need for general caution when considering employment with foreign organizations. Protecting our national defense information is the responsibility of each service member and Veteran.
If you or someone you know is being targeted for recruitment or was recruited to train foreign militaries, foreign defense industry, or foreign government agencies about the skills and capabilities you learned in the U.S. military, please report it to:
Department of the Army

Many choose alternative job routes due to USAJOBs and/or OPM’s sour management of VET preferences and its entire recruitment process for Disabled Vets…I know of 30-50% DIS VETS with a Master’s education attempting US GOV jobs over 40 times with no results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…and no wonder Vets run to foreign GOV recruitment!

What I learned is MY intellectual property. So long as one doesn’t double actual classified documents, one can do anything they like with their body and mind.

Reminds me of a recent story out of the UK. They refused to hire retired White male military pilots for civilian and government roles so they went to work for China. Then of course it was a huge problem. Most US companies in the Fortune 100 have similar discriminatory practices. You cant have a society that discriminates against its warriors and then gets mad when they have to make a living elsewhere.
