Subject Area The Private Security Industry Title Private Security Companies in Hostile Environments: Providers of Private Security Consultants or Privately Contracted Soldiers? Synopsis This research will research whether Private Security Companies, when providing personnel for contracts in hostile environments, proactively recruit and employ military trained personnel specifically with previous military combat experience, for quasi-military roles under the guise of private security consultants. Aims of the Research To establish the levels of ex-military private security personnel working in hostile environment areas versus non-military trained private security personnel. To establish whether Private Security Companies actively recruit and employ private security personnel with military experience and specifically, personnel with operational military combat experience. To establish whether private security personnel working in hostile environments conduct purely ‘security’ roles or whether they have undertaken defensive/offensive security operations that could be considered as quasi-military operations. Area of interest and problem to be studied The area of interest in this research is the increased use and outsourcing of military-related support roles in hostile environments to Private Security Companies and to what extent these roles are served by personnel of a military or non-military background. To what extent is the outsourcing of hostile environment quasi-military roles by Private Security Companies, specifically directed toward ex-military personnel rather than non-military trained security contractors. Is the hiring of private security contractors purposely driven and openly and positively advertised to actively recruit ex-military personnel, namely with military combat experience, and to discouraging and preventing non-military trained security personnel from obtaining such roles. Is the use of private security contractors in hostile environments purely security protective/defensive or are the roles of a quasi-military combatant function and thus the driver of the recruitment process and a driven pre-requisite of ‘operational military combat experience’. Locating the problem in the literature For inclusion in this work please research the relevant history and current use of Private Security, remembering that Private Security is thousands of years old and not a recent implementation. Please also research the websites of the Private Security Companies to extract any information suitable from its pages; AEGIS Defense Services; Control Risks; G4S; GardaWorld; all have pages that detail their services in regard to hostile environment private security services and also detail recruitment vacancies and the applicant criteria.
