Stephen "Scott" Helvenston (June 21, 1965 – March 31, 2004) was a former United States Navy SEAL. He was working as a security contractor for Blackwater Security when he was killed in the 31 March 2004 Fallujah ambush within days of arriving in Iraq. Helvenston was formerly a personal trainer for Hollywood celebrities such as Demi Moore (for ''G.I. Jane''), and was also featured in the reality shows ''Combat Missions'' and ''Man vs. Beast'' (in the latter, he completed an obstacle course faster than a chimpanzee). He also starred in a reality series called ''Extreme Expeditions: Model Behavior'' months before he left for Iraq. The series was shot in Mexico and is finished, but has not yet aired. Helvenston's great-great-uncle was Secretary of War Elihu Root. He joined the Navy at 17 and became the youngest person to complete Navy SEAL training. He spent 12 years in the Navy SEALs until he left in 1994 as an E-6 (Quartermaster First Class). Helvenston began training at Blackwater USA's facilities in March 2004, and developed a personal conflict with head trainer Justin "Shrek" McQuown.〔 Helvenston arrived in Kuwait on March 18, where he was under the management of John and Kathy Potter, whom he knew from ''Combat Missions''. ==Contract== Employee John Potter had helped Blackwater win the contract to provide security for kitchen equipment convoys for the Kuwait company Regency Hotel and Hospital Company and Eurest Support Services (ESS was a subcontractor of Halliburton KBR). The contract billed Regency $815 a day; Helvenston and the other contractors were paid $600 a day. The original contract called for at least three men per vehicle on security missions "with a minimum of two armored vehicles to support ESS movements". In addition, the contract called for a heavily armed rear gunner, and time before any mission to review the route and conduct a risk assessment and pre-trip inspection. Blackwater signed a revised contract with Regency on March 12, 2004 that removed the word "armored". Potter insisted that his men be given armored vehicles, however, and was removed as project manager on March 24, replaced by Justin McQuown.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Helvenston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
