Earlier this week Stars and Stripes, the Pentagon-run newspaper and website, posted an article calling for contractors to fight ISIS and provide other services in Iraq. The U. S. Army Contracting Command posted a notice last month seeking contractors willing to work on an initial 12-month contract, who should be ‘cognizant of the goals of reducing tensions between Arabs and Kurds, and Sunni and Shias.’
According to the Pentagon periodical, merc and contractor duties will ‘fall within the existing mission’ and will ‘focus on administration, force development, procurement and acquisition, contracting, training management, public affairs, logistics, personnel management, professional development, communications, planning and operations, infrastructure management, intelligence and executive development, the notice stated.’
As of February, according to the Wall Street Journal, there were more than 5,000 specialists working in the country.
