For those of you who have not heard of Blackwater…You should. Blackwater was one of the most prolific, controversial and effective private military security companies in the world. While the company has morphed several times and now has re-named and re-branded, the name Blackwater lives on.
The Blackwater Tactical Weekly is their online journal that focuses on issues pertaining to Private Military and Security work. I am very happy to contribute to their work and discus medical issues faced by the private military contractor.
