Publications: Contractor Support of U.S. Operations in USCENTCOM AOR, Iraq, and Afghanistan-as of June 30, 2009
. There was a 19 % increase (from 10,743 to 13,232) of armed DoD PSCs in Iraq compared to the 2nd quarter FY 2009 census. This increase can be attributed to an increased need for PSCs to provide security as the military begins to drawdown forces and to our continued improved ability to account for subcontractors who are providing security services.
. There was a 20% increase (from 4,111 to 5,165) of armed DoD PSCs in Afghanistan compared to the 1st quarter FY 2009 census. The increase correlates to the build up of forces in that AOR.
As promised, here is the link and a quick summary of the latest Program Support report on DoD contractors. The most important statistic that you guys need to tell your friends, and enemies, is the one on security contractors up top. That and we now outnumber the troops in Afghanistan.
Now remember, this is an increase from the last report, and not some yearly report. So the numbers are skyrocketing, and as far as I can tell, we have a very important role in both wars.
