Introduction: LOGCAP: A force multiplier for contingency deployments.
The U.S. military has traditionally employed civilian contractors in noncombatant roles to augment military resources. The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) leverages civilian corporate resources as facility and logistics services support multipliers in support of U.S. forces. LOGCAP provides a rapid and responsive contract capability which augments U.S. forces by meeting combat support and combat service support (CS/CSS) requirements.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has developed and awarded a LOGCAP contract which is designed to support U.S. Army forces in contingency operations worldwide. It provides for augmentation to CS/CSS troop units in war and in operations other than war (OOTW). This Engineer Pamphlet describes the USACE LOGCAP contract and provides basic information on acquiring LOGCAP planning and execution support.
