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 operations?with 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. 606 $aDefense contracts$zUnited States 606 $aContracting out$zUnited States 606 $aGovernment contractors$zUnited States 606 $aPrivate military companies$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xProcurement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDefense contracts 615 0$aContracting out 615 0$aGovernment contractors 615 0$aPrivate military companies 676 $a355.6/2120973 701 $aKinsey$b Christopher$01036963 701 $aPatterson$b Malcolm Hugh$f1959-$01036964 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452015803321 996 $aContractors and war$92457611 997 $aUNINA
