Indeed, the past decade has witnessed a quiet revolution in the way Washington projects its power abroad. To illustrate, in the first Gulf War the ratio of U.S. troops on the ground to private contractors was fifty-to-one; in the 2003 Iraq war, that ratio was ten-to-one, just as it was during the Clinton administration’s interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo; and recent U.S. anti-drug and counterinsurgency policy in Colombia has maintained a ratio of five-to-one.1As these figures suggest, both Democratic and Republican administrations have steadily privatized the implementation of U.S. foreign policy in significant ways by outsourcing key military functions to private companies. Halliburton’s operations alone offer a rough sense of the economic magnitude of this trend. The company’s total contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan to date range in value from $11 to $13 billion—more than twice what the first Gulf War cost U.S. taxpayers.2Since 1990 the United States has employed PMCs to implement American foreign policy objectives around the globe and to pursue a more ambitious foreign policy agenda than its all-volunteer force might otherwise have allowed.3In Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo, the United States employed or licensed PMCs to train foreign armies, provide strategic advice, and monitor peacekeeping. In Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru, Washington hired PMCs to provide strategic advice, weapons maintenance, aviation and military training, and to support anti-narcotics trafficking efforts with aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering, and crop-eradication flights.
