The New York Times said Prince now has a $529 million contract from the UAE to create its foreign legion. It has recruited Colombians and South Africans, among others. Training is being conducted by retired American soldiers, veterans of the German and British special operations units and former officers of the French Foreign Legion.

The battalion is to put down internal revolts, defend pipelines and other infrastructure and conduct special operations missions inside and outside the UAE, the newspaper said in its Sunday edition.
