Asgaard – German Security Group (founded in 2007) is a German private military company.

According to spokespersons for the German Institute for International and Security Affairsand the Düsseldorf Institute for Foreign and Security Policy, Darman is a politically unimportant player in Somalia, whose political clout may change considerably if he acquires armed security.[1] That over a hundred former German soldiers would begin to play a part in Somali politics led to discussion in the German Bundestag. Politicians spoke of a "fall from grace," but there appeared to be little that could be done, since the German government had for years neglected to draw up rules for private military companies.[2] The chairman of the Bundeswehr's reservoist association Gerd Höfer, aksed Kaltengärtner in a letter in 2014 to resign from the association.

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security – Worldwide Protective Services (WPS) contract hires armed bodyguards and security for American diplomatic personnel worldwide.

The ICDC was controlled by Coalition forces.[1] CPA Order Number 28 of September 3, 2003 established this temporary security and emergency service agency for Iraq to complement operations conducted by Coalition military forces in Iraq.[2][3] The ICDC was tasked with the following missions: joint patrolling with Coalition Forces; fixed site security; route security; natural disaster aid, and general assistance.[4] The ICDC was composed of 15,000 men divided into 18 battalions of 846 men. Members of the ICDC had solid brown uniforms and baseball-type caps in red, blue, and black with ICDC in block letters. They were armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and were equipped with jeeps and trucks (2 jeeps and 12 trucks per battalion). They were hired under a 1-year renewable contract and trained by coalition forces. As of mid-October 2003 more than 6,000 members of ICDC were employed. 4,700 trained soldiers were employed by 29 October 2003. Under CPA Order Number 73 of 22 April 2004 all personnel, facilities and equipment of the ICDC were transferred to the Iraqi Ministry of Defence as a component of the Iraqi Armed Forces.
