Executive Outcomes(EO) was a private military company, founded by Eeben Barlow in 1989 and ceasing to exist in 1999. Most, not all, of EO's employees were former South African Defense Force soldiers with special operations training.
They were succeeded by Sandline International, a now-defunct London-based private military company. The line between Sandline, Executive Outcomes, and associated companies was sometimes blurred by a complex web of interoperation, ownership, multinational holdings, and what may be deliberate obfuscation.
Sandline International became Aegis Defence Services and was recently awarded a $239 million contract by the US DoD to supply “75 close protection bodyguard teams to coalition and Iraqi officials” as well as “co-ordinate intelligence gathering for other private security firms in Iraq, including the multi-billion dollar US Dyncorp”
Executive Outcomes ceased trading on January 1, 1999, as South Africa passed an anti-mercenary law, though apparently its Pretoria, South Africa office remained open for some time.
Now you are somewhat up-to-date on the game....lol.
