| Description: | Hello and welcome to The Combat Operator, an ezine for operators and armed security contractors. My name is Jake. I served in the United States Marine Corps before working as a private contractor in Iraq. I started TCO to keep operators, companies and our clients informed about the private security sector. The goals is to provide a balanced and informed source of information. To do that we produce original content as well as relay news articles and commentary of relevance. TCO is the fastest growing online community of professional private operators. We offer opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing with other members. Stay ‘in-the-loop’ by subscribing to THE SITREP a free weekly newsletter covering topics of interest to armed security contractors. Once again welcome to TCO!! Jake Allen Editor |

Contractors Role In Nation Building
Thanks to Matt at Feral Jundi for digging this one up. Dr. Thomas Barnett is a former Pentagon analyst and advisor who has some pretty compelling points to make about the U.S. ability (or lack of it) to conduct nation building in our current mindset and configuration. Pay special attention to the area [...]

The Long Arm of Perception and Negative Publicity
As I noted earlier this week there has been a significant reduction in the coverage of private security in the mainstream media of late. This is most likely due to the fact that in the U.S. at least it’s all-hands-on-deck to cover the impending health care reform legislation. But, the lack of negative [...]

Mean Time Between Stupidity

Arrival of dead security expert’s baby eases fiancee’s pain
This is one of those stories that is both heartening and sad at the same time. The tragedy of Paul McGuigan’s unnecessary death is tough to take for everyone and knowing that his daughter will never know her dad is very sobering. On the other hand it appears that mom and baby are healthy and [...]

The business of war and profit: Aren’t we proud?
The American Conservative’s Kelley Vlahos had what I thought was some excellent perspective on contracting in her article titled The business of war and profit: Aren’t we proud? Pretty poignant considering that The American Conservative is not exactly the place you normally find gratuitous contractor bashing. It’s one thing to take a beating from The Nation [...]
