UK Requests Another 3,500 Military Personnel to Guard Olympics
Britain’s military has been asked to provide an additional 3,500 personnel for the Olympic Games as private security contractor G4S conceded that it might not be able to supply the number of guards it had originally agreed, according to an article from NBC News.
With only 16 days to go before the opening ceremony, a G4S company statement said: “We have encountered some issues in relation to workforce supply and scheduling over the last couple of weeks, but are resolving these every day and remain committed to providing a security workforce for the start of the London 2012 Games.
