Book excerpt: Outsourcing and privatization conversions represent an essential ingredient in shaping the United States Air Force's contribution in meeting the Nation's security needs of the future. Performed properly, outsourcing and privatization will reduce the support "tail" of the Air Force, at a substantially reduced cost, without negatively impacting the "teeth." The reason outsourcing and privatization is so important--moneyZ A conscientious decision to fund operations and maintenance accounts to maintain readiness in light of a very high operations tempo has left some budget areas neglected. Procurement is one of those areas that has suffered especially hard in the most recent years. Our primary weapon systems such as the F-15C and even the F-16, continue to age and are in need of replacement as they near the end of their expected life cycles and as newer technologies make them comparatively less capable. The realities of long-lead time acquisitions necessitate wise procurement investments today to ensure a viable force to meet potential future threats. Therefore, unless the USAF invests in procurement now it stands to lose its global competitive weapons advantage. This paper will outline the motivation for outsourcing and privatization, describe the process for making it happen, and then outline some of the challenges facing the USAF today along with suggestions for process improvement. Outsourcing and privatization are really not new in the Air Force. in fact, they have been an integral part of the USAF since its inception. However, the current emphasis and projected scope are new.

This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a growing role for private military contractors in national and international security. To understand the reasons for this, Elke Krahmann examines changing models of the state, the citizen and the soldier in the UK, the US and Germany. She focuses on both the national differences with regard to the outsourcing of military services to private companies and their specific consequences for the democratic control over the legitimate use of armed force. Tracing developments and debates from the late eighteenth century to the present, she explains the transition from the centralized warfare state of the Cold War era to the privatized and fragmented security governance, and the different national attitudes to the privatization of force.

This book was released on 2011-03-25 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States has long utilized private military contractors to augment regular military forces in support of its national foreign policy and security needs. Commonly referred to as Private Military Companies (PMCs), contractors employ and manage civilian personnel from the private sector in areas of active military operations. Frequently, regular troops become dependent on the services contractors provide a situation that may negatively impact military effectiveness. Since 1991, contractor support on and off the battlefield has become increasingly more visible, varied, and commonplace. Given the current manpower and resource limitations of the national military, the US will likely continue its extensive use of PMCs in support of military operations. This work addresses historical precedents and trends in American logistics, the current scope of contractor involvement in support of regular military forces, and the challenges posed as traditional military institutions integrate increasing numbers of civilian workers and privately owned assets into the battlespace. These problems increase the risk to US personnel and can induce budget overruns rather than savings, disrupt civil-military relations, and have detrimental consequences for the American economy and society. The work concludes by proposing a useful rubric to evaluate this new American way of war. This work considers PMCs and their interdependence with regular and reserve military units in a broad sense. It derives from unclassified material widely available; understandably, these sources limit the analysis. Lessons learned from the Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) theaters may alter findings. However, this study endeavors to frame the continuing dialog concerning the appropriate use of PMCs to support regular troops."--Abstract from DTIC web site.
