The '''Vinnell Corporation''' is an international [[private military company]] based in the [[United States]] specializing in military training, logistics, and support in the form of weapon systems maintenance and management consultancy, whose most recent claim to fame is their training of portions of the [[Saudi Arabian National Guard]] as a joint Saudi/American owned company called Vinnell Arabia. Vinnell Corporation is a subsidiary of [[Northrop Grumman]] Corporation. They are also party to other joint venture companies; i.e., VBR ([[Vinnell-Brown & Root]]).
The Vinnell Corporation was mentioned in [[Fahrenheit 9/11]] for its connections to the [[Carlyle Group]], [[George W. Bush]], and the Saudi Royal family.
Vinnell Arabia was bombed on May 12, 2003 by Saudi terrorists. Ten Americans and three Filipinos were killed. Another employee was stalked from the military hospital to his home in Riyadh and assassinated on the street.
