What are Private military company?

-And what are their jobs?They are "mercenaries" essentially. They are generally former soldiers/Marines/Spec ops who go to work for private military/security contractors. It is more efficient for the government to hire them on short contracts because it saves the government $$ in the long run (not having to pay for training, medical, dental, veteran benefits...etc over time).



Their jobs can vary from providing security for dignitaries/visiting government officials, to securing supply routes, convoys and facilities. Many of these companies ONLY hire former military with previous Special Operations experience.



I should add that any "crime" committed by a security contractor is equally illegal as that of a military member. The ONLY difference is that the company is held accountable for any indiscretion, rather than the US government (depending on the situation).A private company such as the one run by chiefandaccounts@yahoo.com is one which hires former service men. The company sends them to school, then they are placed out to different Governments and private company's as guards or Mercenaries. The pay for example on a super tanker is from $85,000

to $125,000 a year.

Pay scales for the other jobs are confidential.
Well for example we have companies that provide aggressor Training for Navy Fighter pilots at the TOP GUN school. They fly jets cheaper than the Navy can & the Navy does not need to tear up it's own planes. Others provide security for ships from pirates. Thus we don't send thousands of need soldier on baby sitting duties. Basically they do jobs Government does not have the manpower for.
A PMC is ANY company that contracts to provide services for the military in a deployed location



That can be doing laundry, cooking, truck drivers, ware house workers, construction, clerks or security contractors
Privately owned defense companies hired by the Department of State to protect politicians. ... And do a few other things that would be illegal for REAL servicemembers to be told to do.
The politically correct term for hired guns, mercenaries. They will publicly deny that they are but,,,they are.
The answer is in the name.
