Камрад, если уж тебе так тяжело было пройти по размещенным выше ссылкам, то вот сам читай:
The Resources Development Administration, or RDA is the largest single non-governmental organization in human space. Its power is such that it outmatches most Earth governments in wealth, political influence, and military capability. The RDA has monopoly rights to all products shipped, derived, or developed from Pandora and any other off-Earth location. These rights were granted to the RDA in perpetuity by the Interplanetary Commerce Administration (ICA), with the stipulation that they abide by a treaty that prohibits weapons of mass destruction and limits military power in space.
With millions of shareholders, the RDA is the oldest and largest of the quasi-governmental administrative entities (QGAEs), but its origins are far more modest. The entity that would become the RDA was little more than a Silicon Valley startup in the early 21st century, when its founders borrowed money from friends and family to begin the company.

After only a few decades, the company had the capital and stature to propose the construction of a world-spanning rapid transit system that would allow entire population groups to conveniently commute hundreds or even thousands of miles to perform work where it was needed, without impinging on the cultural values of host populations. This led to the current global network of maglev trains that require the superconductor unobtanium for their continued operation.
The company's early expeditions to Pandora were seen as a colossal risk; the construction of the ISV Venture Star alone put an enormous strain on capital resources. But with exclusive mining rights to Unobtanium (which is valued at $20 million per kilo), and potential profits from countervirals, biofuels, and cosmetics, the enormous capital investment has paid off.
The RDA has its own private military force, called SecOps, or Security Operations. They comprise of ex-military soldiers recruited from militaries on Earth. The RDA's Secops strength is significantly larger than most other military forces on Earth, and includes large interstellar ships, walkers, and heavily armed infantry. Some of its ships include the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson, Scorpion Gunship, Dragon Assault Ship, and Valkyrie shuttlecraft. Its ground forces include Amplified Mobility Platforms.
Вот про их армию:
Security Operations, also called SecOps, are a private military organization owned by the RDA.
They look constantly outward, toward the perimeter. They are a group of hardened individuals and veterans, who live by the philosophy that sharp eyes, fast hands and loaded, destructive weaponry are the keys to survival in the conditions of Pandora.
There are several classes of SecOps troopers, like regular grunts and grunts with weapon specializations (heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, rapid-fire nailguns, etc.), medics, AMP Suit pilots, HazMat Troopers (troopers with flamethrowers, essentially), Elite Troopers, and even special forces Commandos
Though it is mainly tasked for security and defense, the military capabilities of SecOps far exceed the armed forces of many Earth governments. The troopers wear thick battle-helmets, exopacks, advanced body armor, and carry heavy military-issue weaponry.
Their arsenal of vehicles is also impressive, with their C-21 Dragon Assault Ships posessing the capability to level whole cities. In addition, high-tech devices like U-T suicide drones, auto-turrets, and ultrasonic repulsor pods that keep Pandoran wildlife at bay round out their arsenal.

Despite this awesome mix of firepower and technology, the SecOps are not permitted to carry nuclear weapons or other WMDs, their power having been limited by a treaty prohibiting these weapons as well as the RDA's military space power, in a mandate set by the UN.
For better dispersal of their logistics capabilities, the RDA has seen to it that the SecOps are rapidly resupplied in the field by the Ammunition Dispenser Pods (A-Pods) set up throughout a local battlezone; their access panels are sealed with encrypted locks to prevent those supplies from falling into enemy hands. Ultrasonic repulsor pods keep out Pandoran wildlife and have the ability to funnel them into interlocking fire sectors, creating killzones and making the Pandoran predators easy prey to SecOps' firepower.
