More Book Details

Description of the Book:

On March 19, 2003, the United States (U.S.) and its Coalition partners began the attack to replace a cruel and evil dictator in Iraq. In a short period of time, Saddam Hussein and many of the former members of his regime were in jail or dead. However, the long term task of securing, stabilizing, and rebuilding the nation continues. To persecute the war and conduct the follow-on rebuilding, the United States is committing billions of dollars to set the conditions for success. Much of this sum will be put on contracts. Proper oversight and execution of the contracts will be crucial to the overall long term success of the mission. The purpose of this research project is to examine the contract management structure U.S. forces are using in Iraq. As such, the report will focus on the funding authorized, the roles and responsibilities of the various contracting activities, the types and methods of ongoing contracts and the various oversight requirements.

The report concludes with recommendations to produce a more unified and streamlined structure that provides greater transparency and efficiency in the management of military contracts as the U.S. moves forward to rebuild Iraq
