许多美国。 承包商作为队伍在伊拉克
军队时间 | 美国。 有私人承包商的大致同样的数字在伊拉克作为穿制服的服务成员，一个新的国会报告认为-在记录所有工作者提出问题并且突出支持的延长的军事行动困难，不用大规模兵力的一个历史制造的比率。
国会预算办公室，国会的一条无党派分析胳膊， 发布了一个报告 提供一个的星期一详述了运作在伊拉克剧院，经常做历史上是军事责任的工作，例如管理和后勤学的平民承包商的数量的会计。
“DoD的收缩的程度在长时期的，大规模操作期间是特别显然的-象那些在伊拉克-可能不有足够的军事人员可利用提供后勤学支持的地方”，报告说， “美国的承包商’支持。 操作在伊拉克”。
Most of the attention and controversy has centered on the estimated 30,000 people hired by the State Department to provide private security — a mission traditionally the responsibility of U.S. 军事力量在战区。
“提供安全为所有人员，包括承包商，是美国的一个逃不脱的方面。 操作在伊拉克由于不稳定和暴力在那个国家”，报告认为。
根据当前政策，军事为部署与作战力量或直接地支持军事任务的承包商提供安全，但美国的非军事代办处。 政府和其他承包商，象在重建介入的那些，使用私有安全。
私有证券公司存在军事圈子导致了一些震惊，因为一些保镖赢得$1,222每天，与在薪水和好处到$190比较赢得的$160由midgrade军事成员与相似的技能。
然而，报告认为私有安全必要不是更加昂贵的，因为卫兵不必须是有偿的，当没有使用时他们，不会是案件，如果30,000名多服务成员将替换安全承包商在伊拉克剧院。
军事也会预计有足够的队伍，以便他们能转动人员进出战区。 私有证券公司经常支付雇员在部署之间，报告认为。
Using contractors to support military operations is not new, the report says, although the current one-to-one ratio that has 190,000 private contractors in the Iraq theater “is at least 2.5 times higher than … any other major U.S. conflict.”
However, the ratio is similar to the heavy use of contractors during U.S. military operations in the Balkans in the 1990s, the report says.
