Objectives The article explores combat related Private Military Companies (PMCs) that are authorised to engage in the forefront of the battlefield as dedicated force multipliers. Methods To supplement empirical data with qualitative observation, the methodology applies the case study and observation method. Considering assistance in conflict termination as a dependent variable, the methodology evaluates the case study of Executive Outcomes in Sierra Leone and, to impose a framework for observation, deconstructs that case with seven independent variables: competence, effectiveness, flexibility, field cooperation with conventional forces, cost efficiency, impact on military and the state-to-PMC balance. Results The methodology indicates what factors were prevalent in effective conflict management and what indicators entailed chal- lenges. The results advocate for the competence, flexibility, effectiveness and cooperation with armed forces to be deemed conclusive in positive PMC engagement, whereas the cost efficiency, impact on conventional military and the state-to-PMC balance require improvement. Conclusions Since governments have continued to be hesitant (justified either by financial, geopolitical or social incen- tives) towards overseas military operations where asymmetric warfare is taking place, PMCs stepped in to fill the se- curity void. Therefore, this paper argues that PMCs are here to stay; however, the literature hasn’t rigorously ex- plored the subject matter to determine whether indicators of success and failure exist to evaluate the PMC outcome. This paper also precipitates natural outgrowth in the scholarship by composing the benchmark that synthesises relevant data.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykuły są rozważania na temat działalności Executive Outcomes w Afryce. EO jako prekursor współczesnego, nowoczesnego najemnictwa utarła i utrwaliła poprzez swoją działalność pewne schematy, na których opiera się gama Prywatnych Przedsiębiorstw Militarnych obecnych w Iraku, Afganistanie czy innych punktach zapalnych świata. W artykule przedstawiono działalność EO w państwach afrykańskich ogarniętych wojną domową, a także nieudaną próbę dokonania zamachu stanu w Gwinei Równikowej. Rejony zaangażowania nie są przypadkowe lecz związane ściśle z biznesem wydobywczym, przynoszącym ogromne zyski. Analiza działalności EO pozwoliła na ukazanie początków współczesnego najemnictwa, co pozwoliło postawić tezę, iż wojna coraz częściej staję się biznesem.
