Just a little update not posted here DEL MAR, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 17, 2006 -- Homeland Security Group International (Other OTC:HMSG.PK - News) announced today that the company will be participating in Strong Angel III to be held in San Diego, California, from August 20-26.
ADVERTISEMENT San Diego State University will host the Strong Angel Disaster Response Demonstration during August 2006 to pursue a design for community disaster response. The team is drawn from US government agencies, the military, First Responders, domestic and international humanitarian organizations, academia, and private volunteers. The Strong Angel III demonstration itself will consist of a complex series of tasks addressing challenges seen in the real world. The goal will be the establishing of a model of community resilience in the face of adversity.
"Strong Angel III is a demonstration of methods for improving disaster response within any community under pressure," commented Mark Wilson, 1stSgt USMC (Ret.), Director of Security Division, Homeland Security Group International. "Recent events like the tsunami in South East Asia, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, recent earthquakes, the prospect of an avian Flu outbreak and the constant vigilance needed to counteract possible terrorist activity make it very clear that communities must develop internal disaster response plans. Strong Angel III will look at tasks related to that goal," concluded Wilson.
HMSG plans to man a 24 hour mobile command post during the exercise consisting of satellite Internet and cellular communications, interoperable tactical communication systems, portable and mobile stand-alone cellular sites, physical security coordination and logistical support and disaster response command and control.
"We feel it is important that we participate in this exercise to demonstrate our product line consisting of cutting-edge technologies geared toward disaster response and also to share our experience and expertise learned during disaster relief efforts in the wake of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma," commented HMSG, CEO, Colonel Jeffrey Powers, USMC (Ret.)

SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 14, 2006 -- Homeland Security Group International (Other OTC:HMSG.PK - News) today announced its participation in Strong Angel III, a collaborative demonstration of civil and military cooperation and communication capabilities put together by a partnership of private companies, government agencies, humanitarian and relief agencies and universities. Hosted by San Diego State University and taking place in San Diego August 21-26, Strong Angel III will field test effective means of delivering life-saving humanitarian relief and rapidly deployable communications systems in the wake of major disasters.
ADVERTISEMENT The core site for Strong Angel III will be the operations center at the San Diego Fire Department Fire Rescue Training Facility site, located at the former Naval Training Center near downtown San Diego. San Diego State University's Visualization Center will be a secondary location.
The Strong Angel III demonstration simulates the impact on information sharing in a real-world disaster. The demonstration will assume the context of a worldwide pandemic caused by a highly contagious virus, which is further complicated by a wave of cyber-attacks inflicted by terrorists that cripple critical local infrastructure and systems. Strong Angel III team members will conduct field trials and demonstrations of solutions that address 49 specific humanitarian relief challenges -- both technical and social -- that have not yet been adequately overcome in real disaster relief efforts.
"In the wake of major incidents like the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami in Southeast Asia, it is more important than ever to have an integrated response when disaster strikes," said Eric Rasmussen, MD, director of Strong Angel III and professor at San Diego State University. "Public and private-sector engagement in Strong Angel III is at remarkable levels, underscoring the significance of the task at hand and the commitment of everyone involved to work together to maximize preparedness and coordination efforts."
Some of the demonstrations will include developing solutions for redundant power, adaptive communications, austere network communications, mobile workers, cross-organizational collaboration, mesh networking, satellite services, ephemeral workgroups, geospatial information systems, rapid assessment techniques, shared situational awareness, cyber-security, alerting tools, community informatics, machine-based translation for multi-lingual communication, and social network development.
Strong Angel III sponsors include Bell Canada, Cisco Systems, CommsFirst, Microsoft, Save the Children, Sprint Nextel, Google, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
HMSG plans to man a 24 hour mobile command post during the exercise consisting of satellite internet and cellular communications, interoperable tactical communication systems, portable and mobile stand-alone cellular sites, physical security coordination and logistical support and disaster response command and control.

Homeland Security Capital Corporation Acquires SecurityInc and Affiliate Companies
Total Deal Expected to Generate Revenue More Than $7M in 2007
Arlington, VA, August 23, 2006 -- Homeland Security Capital Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: HMSC), a company engaged in the acquisition, development and consolidation of homeland security-related businesses, announced today that it has acquired Milwaukee-based SecurityInc, LLC and two affiliate companies in a merger transaction with Security Holding Corp., a newly formed subsidiary of Homeland Security Capital. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
SecurityInc is a single-source manufacturer of electronic access control solutions using active radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. These systems are designed for use by the commercial and government sectors. The company markets its products through an established network of system integrators and authorized distributors.
As part of the transaction, Homeland Security Capital will also acquire SecurityInc's two affiliate companies Cyberlynk, an IT support company for enterprise applications, and AAID Security Solutions, a Georgia-based leading active RFID solutions supplier. Homeland Security Capital will own a controlling interest in Security Holding Corp.
In total, the acquired companies generated approximately $3 million in revenues in 2005 and are expected to produce more than $7 million in 2007.
Joel Konicek, founder of SecurityInc and CEO of Security Holding Corp., said, "We expect to continue building profitable market share in the fast-growing RFID solutions sector, which we believe will exceed $4.4 billion in sales by 2008.

As founder of Northern Computers, he brings not only proven operating experience but substantial knowledge of the industry that will be invaluable to us going forward."
Konicek said, "I will work with Tom to build our companies and help create shareholder value. We have numerous opportunities for growth. Being part of Homeland Security Capital provides us with valuable new resources that should enable us to expand and take advantage of consolidation opportunities and participate more effectively in the homeland defense effort."

We were able to provide support to the core group including satellite Internet connectivity, satellite telephonic communications, shelter, electricity, food, sanitation, security, Internet security, wireless video teleconferencing and interoperable radio communications.

"Inside these tents our partner companies worked in concert to provide secure data and communication along with satellite connectivity for various evolutions and experiments by the Shadowlite Group's 'Synergy Strike-force' while also providing data for analysis by the Strong Angel core group. I am pleased to announce that during the week our group solidified their common business goals and committed to a unified plan for future business development. We arrived at Strong Angel as a diverse group of companies connected by joint venture and teaming agreements. We emerged from this demonstration as a unified technological incident response team. We couldn't be more pleased with the results of this evolution and want to thank the Strong Angel group for allowing us to participate in the demonstration and affording us this opportunity to display our abilities," concluded Wilson.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 15, 2006 -- Homeland Security Group International (Other OTC:HMSG.PK - News) announced today that the company has entered into a Joint Venture relationship with California-based American Security Ventures LLC. ASV, a privately held company based in San Diego, California focuses on services and technologies related to the security and intelligence fields.
Source: Homeland Security Group International
American Security Ventures LLC was specifically designed to bid on government contracts set aside for service disabled veteran owned businesses. The company is registered with the federal government as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOB) and has applied for registration status with the State of California as a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). Both of these classifications are very beneficial in the bidding process due to federal government programs which target SDVOBs and DVBEs. A portion of all ASV profits will be donated to the non-profit Freedom Is Not Free foundation assisting wounded servicemen and women and supporting the widowed spouses of fallen heroes.
"We are ecstatic over this contractual relationship and the potential it proposes," stated HMSG CEO Colonel Jeffrey Powers. "The companies can bid in concert and be placed near or at the top of the list for set-aside contracts," concluded Powers.
Although service disabled from injuries sustained during his service in the United States Marine Corps, Colonel Powers and HMSG have been unable to register as SDVOSB and DVBE due to the public status of Homeland Security Group International.
The companies have already made major steps toward bidding contracts as a joint venture. HMSG COO Mark Wilson and ASV President Carl Frank attended the recent San Diego convention of Service Disabled Small Business Owners. Frank has also joined and is attending numerous meetings of local organizations which mentor service disabled small business owners with the object of helping them do business with the US Government.
The Freedom Is Not Free foundation has recently added Colonel Powers to its board of directors and the two companies have co-located their offices in Sorrento Valley, California.
ABOUT CARL FRANK PRESIDENT AMERICAN SECURITY VENTURES LLC
Carl Frank grew up in South Bend, Indiana. He served with the 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles) 1st Brigade, 2nd Battalion, and 327th infantry in the Republic of South Viet Nam during 1967-68. This elite paratrooper battalion distinguished itself as having the longest continuous service of any combat unit in Viet Nam. Carl's battalion was on a "search and destroy" mission in Quang Tri Province when the paratroopers encountered heavy fire from an entrenched North Vietnamese Army Division. On March 21, 1968 Carl led his comrades on a pre-dawn assault. As he was attempting to rescue a fallen comrade, he was hit by an AK-47 round shattering one of his bones in his right forearm just below the elbow. Although the paratroopers defeated the enemy, the battle dragged on several days and 101st sustained many casualties. During his stay in the hospital, Carl was assigned to assist other soldiers in the hospital's rehabilitation facility. After his military service Carl earned B.S. degree in Business Administration from Indiana University and then went on to complete his M.B.A. from the University of Arizona. Carl is President of Freedom Is Not Free foundation and resides with his wife, Nancy, two children and a grandchild in San Diego, California.
