Description

ION Services, Incorporated (alternately stylised as IoN and shortened to ION Inc.) is a U.S.-based private military company. Initially established as an aviation security agency, ION Services, then-known as Black Element, expanded further into the private security sector following an increased need for PMCs in the wake of the growing tensions in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2002. Growing in size and reputation with the acquisition of several influential rival companies, ION has emerged as the largest PMC to date in the United States, becoming a key player in the global security services market. Advertisements for the company's services are visibly displayed throughout numerous countries worldwide; ranging from the Horizon Islands to even remote microstates like Malden. After a series of incidents involving Black Element contractors operating in Sahrani, the company was acquired by the Montreal-based Vrana Corp Industries in 2010. It was renamed to ION, Inc.
