At peak utilization, private security contractors (PSCs)
constituted a larger occupying force in Iraq and Afghanistan than
did U.S. troops. Yet, no book has so far assessed the impact of
private security companies on military effectiveness. Filling that
gap, Molly Dunigan reveals how the increasing tendency to outsource
missions to PSCs has significant ramifications for both tactical
and long-term strategic military effectiveness--and for the
likelihood that the democracies that deploy PSCs will be victorious
in warfare, both over the short- and long-term.
She highlights some of the ongoing problems with deploying large
numbers of private security contractors alongside the military,
specifically identifying the deployment scenarios involving PSCs
that are most likely to have either positive or negative
implications for military effectiveness. She then provides detailed
recommendations to alleviate these problems. Given the likelihood
that the U.S. will continue to use PSCs in future contingencies,
this book has real implications for the future of U.S. military and
foreign policy.
