  • Relying on local law enforcement can be okay, but certain times and certain people call for a private security force. These elite forces often employ the best soldiers, use the best weaponry, and employ the most effective tactics that will blow the local PD out of the water. And if you’ve got the cash, well, they’ve got the skills. So join us for today’s video, where we take a look at the 15 biggest private security forces.

    Worked for Gardaworld, met a lot of really interesting people that worked overseas in the Middle East, our company did embassy protection and was in the ground doing extraction during the fall of Kabul. I worked only in the states, doing armed security for several big hospitals. A lot of our teams were ex military and retired law enforcement.

      True, but let’s not forget that strikes back then often closer to the leftist riots we’ve seen over the last year than they are what most people think of as a labor strike today, such as picketing and such.
      This isn’t to excuse the action taken against any specific group of strikers in history, I just wanted to provide a bit of, the often overlooked balance, because reality and history are often far less clear cut than any wish to make them seem.

      Not exactly the same thing, but similar enough that I’d suggest you check out the movie Siege at Jaddotsville. It’s the true story (well mostly true from what I’d been able to discover) or Irish soldiers working as US peacekeepers in the Congo in the early 60’s when they were attacked by a large rebel force which was supplemented and supported by a large number of mercenaries, many of whom it’s been claimed were actually members of the French Foreign Legionnaires, but were operating covertly to give the French government the ability to deny involvement with the attack on UN peacekeepers.
      Sadly the Irish military looked down upon the units involved with derision because the company ended up being forced to surrender. This despite the Irish troops having beaten back countless waves of a much larger force (the 156 Irish troops faced 3-5000 rebels and mercenaries,) and had received little to no support by UN command, but the Irish unit had literally fought off the much large force until they were out of food, water and ammunition.
