Book excerpt: Exposes DoDżs outsourcing of security on the supply chain in Afghanistan to questionable providers, including warlords. In short, DoD designed a contract that put responsibility for the security of vital U.S. supplies on contractors and their unaccountable security providers. This arrangement appears to risk undermining the U.S. strategy for achieving its goals in Afghanistan. Little attention was given to the cost-benefit analysis of allowing the system to inject most of the $2.16 billion contractżs resources into a corruptive environment. This report is confined to Host Nation Trucking contracts. The report offers realistic recommendations to serve as a catalyst for what appears to be a much-needed reconsideration of policy.
