Operators and Contractors - Recruiting Security

Contractor on a roof in Anbar, Iraq

There are no fixed definitions in the new world of the Private Military Company but for us the Operator fights and the Contractor protects. What they have in common is the fact that they do it for non-state participants. In all probability a State institution is paying their employer, either directly or indirectly. An example would be Blackwater being contracted to provide Personal Security for US State Department employees in Iraq, or KBR being contracted to provide catering services in the Baghdad Green Zone.


Organisations such as Blackwater, Triple Canopy, Hart, Aegis and many others are known as Private Military Companies and their business as grown exponentially since 9/11 and is expected to continue in the future. Their demand for qualified skilled and experienced personnel is growing in parallel and this is a need that operatorsandcontractors.com will fill. Whether you are an experienced professional or a contracting firm we have the capacity to assist you.


Private Military Contractors come in three main categories. Some focus on offering up front war fighters, these are hardcore on the ground troops with experience ranging from National Guardsmen to SAS or ex-Delta Force operators. Some examples of this type would be Blackwater, Triple Canopy, and Hart. A few offer a gaggle of ex-Generals of senior ex-Agency staffers as consultants to advise small states on strategy and long term military planning. Diligence would be a good example of this category. Then there are the Military Support Firms (MSF) they provide behind the lines services like logistics, catering, maintenance, quartermaster and whatever else the client requires. A classic example of this would be Kellogg Brown Root (KBR).
