Wartime Contracting Commission Goes Global
By Robert Brodsky
The Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan has opened two offices in Southwest Asia. One office is located in central Baghdad while the other is at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, roughly 25 miles from Kabul.
The congressionally-charter commission said this week that it has deployed one staffer to Iraq, with another to follow, and two others to Afghanistan.
"We hired experts for these overseas posts," said Robert Dickson, the commission's executive director. "They have decades of experience in construction management, military contracting, development projects, policy analysis, program management, and other work that ties directly to our research areas."
Dickson said the overseas staff will be able to "maintain liaison with agencies and commands in theater, fill data requests from stateside staff, directly observe events on the ground, and assist with commissioners' research visits to the region.
