The expense reports coming into proactive communica- tions, a 37-person company in Killeen, Tex., don't list four-star hotels or fancy client dinners. "We go where there are bombs and bullets," says CEO and ex-infantry battalion commander Marc LeGare, who has employees working in Iraq. "Most of my employees are former military. They know when to put on their helmet. They know they might have a tent to sleep in—or maybe not."

Although LeGare retired from the Army in 2001, he and his staff often find themselves in hostile territory. PCI builds infrastructure for telecommunications satellites, working with the U.S. military, Iraq's government, and private enterprises.
