The book delves into the significant role of military contractors in U.S. military operations, particularly during the long counterinsurgency campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. It highlights the Army's increasing reliance on private companies for logistical support, which has allowed for a more efficient use of military personnel. However, the text also addresses the complications that arise from this dependence, as contractors can sometimes hinder mission success. The evolution of this practice since the 1980s reflects broader trends in military strategy and operational capacity.
