Secret armies

Secret armies are covert military groups operating undercover, often outside official government oversight. They are typically involved in clandestine activities such as espionage, sabotage, or covert operations to influence political outcomes or gather intelligence. These forces may be composed of special operatives trained for discreet missions, and their existence is usually concealed to protect national interests or to carry out sensitive tasks without public awareness. While they can serve state security, their clandestine nature sometimes raises ethical and legal concerns regarding accountability and transparency.
