Are there many retired special forces soldiers in the American Blackwater Security Company who have participated in actual combat?

Blackwater specifically hires retired military and police officers, as well as volunteer civilians. Most of them are in their thirties or forties, experienced and in good health. After specialized training, they become senior armed security personnel. This kind of job pays well, with daily wages ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Some people can earn in one month what they earned in a year. In order to tap talents from the active forces, Blackwater Company did not hesitate to pay an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan to recruit some special forces instructors and senior officers to join.

Blackwater is a famous mercenary and security company in the United States. It was established in 1997 by several veterans of the U.S. Navy's special forces "Seals" and opened in 1998. Company president Gareth Jackson has been in the Navy for 23 years, and training director Jim Silaworski has been in the Navy for 22 years. Blackwater is hidden in a pine forest in northeastern North Carolina, covering an area of ??7,000 acres, and is difficult to spot from the outside. Inside are various training venues, such as shooting ranges, buildings where hostages are simulated, and bunkers occupied by militants. Its equipment is very advanced, and the U.S. Navy amphibious forces often train here.

Now, the company's training center has become the largest private security personnel training center in the United States, with more than 50,000 people trained there. The company has also become a large security company covering five subsidiaries including training centers, shooting ranges, police dog training, air security, and security consultants. Its customers include the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of Transportation, federal law enforcement agencies, multinational corporations, and foreign governments.
