Privatizing National Defense: Utilizing Market Forces
Abstract
During wartime less U.S. citizens voluntarily join the armed forces than the armed forces need to operate. In the past the Department of National Defense has held a mandatory draft, forcing able bodied citizens to fight. Recently, The Department of National Defense has been trying a new solution, hiring privatized units during times of war. In this paper we describe that evaluate the possibilities that the Department of National Defense has in order to fix the shortage of military units. Our Client, the United States National Department of Defense has been having budget problems and is very bottom oriented. We recommend that they use American forces during peacetime and a combination of American and privatized forces during wartime. We suggest that they privatize as much production, storage, and transport as possible through FGC's.
