" Deploying LOGCAP or other contractors instead of military personnel can alleviate the political and social pressures that have come to be a fact of life in the U.S. whenever military forces are deployed,” wrote Lt.

Force caps impose a ceiling on the number of soldiers that can be deployed into a defined area. Contractors expand this limit. "
