A '''paramilitary''' is an organisation which is similar in structure to a national military, but is not part of the armed forces of any nation. Often, paramilitary groups are engaged in combat with either a nation's officially recognised armed forces, or with other paramilitary organisations. Examples of paramilitaries include the [[Ulster Volunteer Force]] in [[Northern Ireland]] and the [[communism|communist]] [[Red Brigades]] in [[Italy]].
