private military companies

Private military companies (PMCs) are private organizations that provide military services, such as security, logistics, training, and tactical support, often to governments, corporations, or other entities. Unlike national armies, PMCs are privately owned and operated, allowing clients to access military expertise without deploying their own forces. They operate in conflict zones or high-risk areas, offering specialized skills and equipment. While they can enhance security and operational capabilities, PMCs are subject to legal and ethical considerations, and their activities can influence international security dynamics.
