The History channel ran a repeat of a really fantastic program on private military coroporations (mercenaries).
Despite the bad connotation, these PMC's are being used again: in Iraq and elsewhere. Is this the model of future warfare?
What do they do? Well they can and do provide anything from military training, to actual military combat. This would also include peacekeeping activites, including passing out ballots, security, etc.
If you have the opportunity, it is a very interesting special called, "Soldiers for Hire."
