Outland: The Vogue of DOD Outsourcing and Privatization
Abstract
The twin silver bullets of outsourcing and privatization are purported to be the saviors of future defense budgets, as private contractors tout their ability to produce goods that retain quality while cutting costs. But this ammunition should be examined carefully before use, for its effects are likely to be devastating to the defense industry's labor force, and estimated savings may evaporate once large segments of the industry are turned over to the private sector.
