A paramilitary is a force whose function and organization are similar to those of a professional military force, but which is not considered part of a nation's formal military forces. The term paramilitary is subjective, depending on what is considered similar to a military force, and what status a force is considered to have. The nature of paramilitary forces therefore varies greatly according to the speaker and the context. For instance, in Northern Ireland, paramilitary refers to any illegal group with a political purpose, but in Colombia, paramilitary refers only to illegally armed right-wing groups which do not combat the government (for example United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia), while illegally armed left-wing groups rebelled against the government, such as Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, are referred to as guerrillas.

Q. Seeing how the military can not be used on American Soil, and the border patrol is often out gunned who else thinks it would be a great idea to come up with a paramilitary force with more firepower than some nations to finally defend the border. I am not talking about no police force, this unit would have it all, M-249 saws, M-240's, MK-19's, 50 caliber machine guns on top of their armoured vehicles. State of the art radios to call in for air support, from helicopters armed with rockets, and mini guns. While this is all good they would have a rules of engagement that actually allowed them to do their job. Oh I forgot to add their 1st order of business would be to put anti personal mines along the border. You can not compare what I am doing… [cont.] Asked by itsmeok2001 - Fri Jul 13 01:02:30 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. That would definitly work.
