My best guess is mercenaries. Ever since the Colombian peace agreement with FARC in 2016, the military really ramped down, and a lot of retired soldiers found themselves with experience in bush warfare and no other applicable skills, so they just go work for mercenary companies in places like Haiti, Ethiopia, etc.
