Army slogans over time have changed from "Be all you can be" which was abolished for "An Army of One" and now it is "Army Strong." At the same time, jobs that were normally done by enlisted people have been outsourced to civilians and corporations like KBR. Not too many Americans get concern when a contractor get killed or maimed, so there is little political fallout to the 4 civilians who were hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
There was a consideration to use civilians as medics with combat troops. The rational for all these moves is more troop at the tip of the spear.
I have been to few facilities where KBR is NOT running the DFAC (Mess Hall for the rest). At those sites, we actually had Army cooks and the troops did KP on the duty rooster. What has the military done right in outsourcing and what are the faults?
