"In 1992 a relatively little-known, Texas-based oil services firm called Halliburton was awarded a $3.9 million Pentagon contract. Its task was to write a classified report on how private companies, like itself, could support the logistics of U.S. military deployments into countries with poor infrastructure. Conspiracy theories aside, it is hard to imagine that either the company or the client realized that 15 years later this contract (now called the Logistics Civilian Augmentation Program or LOGCAP) would be worth as much as $150 billion." https://www.brookings.edu/articles/outsourcing-the-fight/

**Logistics Civilian Augmentation Program** The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) is a program administered by the US Army to provide contingency support to augment the Army force structure. It was established in 1985 primarily to plan for contingencies and to leverage the existing civilian resources. The program utilizes civilian contractors as a force multiplier to augment the operational strength of global U.S. Army forces. These contractors provide a broad range of base life support and logistics services, including facilities management, electrical power, water, sewage and waste management, laundry operations, food services, and transportation motor pool operations. LOGCAP has been used in various locations, including Kosovo, where it provides vital life support to Soldiers and Army Civilians at nearly 100 forward sites across 26 countries and five continents. The program has also been involved in supporting operations in Afghanistan, the U.S. Pacific Command, and other regions. The program involves multiple contractors, with the fourth and current contract awarded in June 2007 split between three companies: KBR, DynCorp, and Fluor Corporation. These companies compete for task orders, providing services such as base construction, facility management, logistics, and maintenance. The LOGCAP program is managed through a program management office, which maintains a directory of current LOGCAP contractor personnel, location, funding task order number, and geographical coverage. The program also includes training requirements for personnel, ensuring compliance with personnel recovery standards and providing necessary mission training. Overall, LOGCAP plays a crucial role in supporting U.S. military operations by leveraging civilian expertise and resources to enhance mission readiness and efficiency.
