HJT International Security Services Incorporated (HJT ITSS Inc.) was a private military and security services company based in the United States. It was established shortly after the end of the Bulgarian terrorist crisis of 2011, by the former commander of «Operation Sovereignty», George Andrews Jr.. The company operated primarily in the Middle East and Africa until its dissolution in 2016. The company faced many scandals and controversies regarding its tactics and rules of engagement during its deployments. One scandal in particular, the 2016 Dibbwol massacre, resulted in the company facing a major lawsuit and dissolving itself.
