Hostile Environment Close Protection Contractors | Private Military Contractors are former soldiers, working alongside conventional armed forces such as the US Army providing a wide range of specialized security in line with relief efforts or military operations. Individual operators are mainly hired by large companies as part of their agreement with a specific MOD or Ministry of Interior.

They also work as private security and military for foreign governments, international corporations or wealthy individuals. There are many big brands in this industry that are known by all Private Security Contractors.

The name Private Military Contractors might be misleading, as rarely do PMCs get involved in real combat operations. These companies have well-armed personnel and hire only former military members (most of whom are combat veterans of tasks that until recently have been solely tasked to the armed forces) an this only contributes to the myth.
