Blackbird

**Blackbird** was a private military company founded in 2011. One of the largest PMCs in existence, it gradually replaced Blackwater by 2016. By 2019, Blackbird was large enough to make up an entire army theater.

## History

Blackbird was founded in 2011, the brainchild of former US Army Special Forces operative Harry Davis, who sought to create a business catering to soldiers who struggled to make a living.
