The U.S. military is no longer based on a Cold War self-sufficient
model. Today's armed forces are a third smaller than they were
during the Cold War, and yet are expected to do as much if not more
than they did during those years. As a result, a transformation is
occurring in the way the U.S. government expects the military to
conduct operationsOCowith much of that transformation contingent on
the use of contractors to deliver support to the armed forces
during military campaigns and afterwards.
"Contractors and War" explains the reasons behind this
transformation and evaluates how the private sector will shape and
be shaped by future operations. The authors are drawn from a range
of policy, legislative, military, legal, and academic backgrounds.
They lay out the philosophical arguments supporting the use of
contractors in combat and stabilization operations and present a
spectrum of arguments that support and criticize emergent private
sector roles. The book provides fresh policy guidance to those who
will research, direct, and carry out future deployments.
