Look at Blackwater. Their bread and butter was in training people to fight wars. Followed up by information assistance. Then it was security when military/police weren't enough. Now, they're lobbying for the next step.

But Blackwater would basically be a mercenary army for all intent purposes for Afghanistan. They would work with the military, but arent part of the military. But really the MIC wouldn't like it, especially if it became a trend for the future because of the amount of money involved between the military and defense contractors that supply them their weapons, vehicles, planes, etc..

On a side note, Erik Prince who is in the video above and founder of Blackwater, is also the brother of Betsy Devos who is head of the Dpt of Education.
