<div dir="ltr">Pentagon Has No Idea What 108,000 Contractors Are Doing<br>
By DAVID FRANCIS, The Fiscal Times June 3, 2013<br>
<br>
The number of contractors working in Afghanistan now vastly outnumbers
American troops stationed there, according to a Congressional Research
Service report. CRS, along with the Government Accountability Office,
also determined that the Pentagon is unable to properly document the
work these contractors are doing. And the information DOD is receiving
is often unreliable and inaccurate.<br>
<br>
According to CRS, there are now 108,000 private workers in Afghanistan,
a workforce that dwarfs the 65,700 American troops still stationed
there. That means there are 1.6 contractors for every American soldier
in Afghanistan. This is an increase from last month, when The Fiscal
Times reported that there were 1.4 contractors per American soldier.<br>
