Throughout its history, the Department of Defense (DOD) has relied
on contractors to support a wide range of military operations.
Operations over the last thirty years have highlighted the critical
role that contractors play in supporting U.S. troops - both in
terms of the number of contractors and the type of work being
performed. Over the last decade in Iraq and Afghanistan, and before
that, in the Balkans, contractors accounted for 50% or more of the
total military force. Regardless of whether future operations are
similar to, or significantly different from, those of the past
decade most analysts and defence officials believe that contractors
will continue to play a central role in overseas military
operations. Consequently, these observers believe that the DOD
should be prepared to effectively award and manage contracts at a
moment's notice, anywhere in the world, in unknown environments,
and on a scale that may exceed the total contract obligations of
any other federal agency. This book provides background information
and identifies issues for Congress on the use of contractors to
support military operations. The DOD's extensive use of contractors
poses several potential policy and oversight issues for Congress
and has been the focus of numerous hearings. Congress' decisions on
these issues could substantially affect the extent to which the DOD
relies on contractors in and is capable of planning for and
overseeing contractors in future operations.
