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
