The Black Baron in the Warsaw modules, he had 4 Companies or more what one would pass off as Mercenaries. The military force of the 14th Polish MRD in southern Poland, there was an Austrian 'Colonel' who commanded smaller infantry battalion made up of mercenaries that acted as the protection for the former Commander. In the Free City of Krakow there is Lt who commands a Platoon size element or so that protect the City Council....
With Mercenaries in T2K you really have to think outside of the box. Food, shelter, supplies, and fuel are as good as gold/money in keeping on service. Remember the basic means of life could be use to entice a force to stay loyal to community or militia commander.
Yes, many marauders have turned more or less mercenaries as they find towns they thought they could control for a while before moving on, to only stay. So yes the difference is very thin line.
