From Confiscation to Contingency Contracting: Property Acquisition on or Near the Battlefield

Abstract

This thesis examines property acquisition overseas during and immediately following combat deployment. A review of pertinent international law and U.S. domestic contract and fiscal law raises the issue of whether application of peacetime domestic fiscal and contracting principles to combat deployments creates unnecessary problems. The thesis concludes that commanders can avoid many of these difficulties through prior planning, but that some statutory and regulatory changes are warranted.
