Army Contigency Contracting.
Abstract
The Army's Logistic Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) is designed to fill combat support and combat service support requirements for contingency operations by utilizing contractors. LOGCAP envisions the contract services being acquired on a contingent basis for contract performance in a hostile environment. The contractor ability to perform will depend on how well the contract is written, the severity of hostility experienced and the multifaceted effects imposed theater level by operations in the less developed areas of the world. The Army must recognize its dependency on the contractor's ability to operate under these potentially severe conditions and plan for providing military and logistical support to the contractor similar to that provided Army support units. The Army must also provide for trained personnel, both acquisition and technical, to assure the Army and its contractors conduct themselves according to individual contract terms and conditions. Keywords: Army procurement. (Author)
