CHARACTERISTICS OF PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES IN CONFLICT ZONES: CASE STUDY - THE LEGAL AND FINANCIAL OF PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES (PMC).

Private military companies are private entities that offer a wide range of services in the field of security. The services included in the framework of the PMC are from logistics, intelligence, and combat operations, where there is very little information about the latter—general actions used by states. In the field of security, private military companies are called private insurance companies, mercenary companies up to the appointment as private military firms, where mainly within these companies the persons/individuals who are employed (contracted) are from the former Special Forces. Since the terrorist attack with major international consequences, the challenge and advancement of the use of private military contractors has become increasingly common. The paper will present the methodology of action and use of the PMC with increasing specific requirements for reducing the number of soldiers and regular army personnel and replacing them with private military contractors at a lower cost. So, within the framework of this paper, I will try to shed light on the rationale for the use of PMCs up to the involvement of the state in them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
