Autor Thomas R. Mockaitis Editat de Strategic Studies Institute (U.S.) Army War College (U.S.) Cuvânt înainte de Jr. Douglas C. Lovelaceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 apr 2015 – vârsta ani
In
examining
the
role
of
security
contractors
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan,
the
author
draws
broad
lessons
from
which
he
provides
concrete
recommendations
to
improve
the
conduct
of
further
missions.
Rather
than
do
away
with
such
contractors
altogether,
the
author
recommends
limiting
their
roles,
providing
better
oversight
of
their
activities,
and
improving
legal
accountability
for
their
wrong
doing.
This monograph will be of interest to soldiers, military leadership, military contractors, especially those that provide logistical support activities in conflict zones, and policymakers engaged in the difficult task of planning and conducting contingency operations.
