Private Military Companies (PMCs) are private organizations that provide military and security services. These services can include armed security, logistics support, and training for military personnel. PMCs operate in various regions around the world, often working for governments, corporations, or non-governmental organizations.
The use of PMCs has grown in recent years, especially in conflict zones where traditional military forces may be limited. While they can offer specialized skills and flexibility, their presence raises questions about accountability and the regulation of private military activities, particularly in relation to international law and human rights.
