Corporations rule the U.S. government. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Pentagon, where corporate contractors have completely seized the basic functions of what were once inherently governmental occupations: Preparation for war and fighting war. Killing for state purposes is now in corporate hands.
The following documents contain detailed summaries of how key corporations assist the U.S. Department of War. The notes span all of 2017. The information presented was distilled from the Pentagon’s daily contracts. (The information is robust yet incomplete, since the Pentagon is not transparent or forthcoming in the details of many contracts). We provide these distillations as resources for investigative journalists and engaged citizens alike.
The notes do not include the Big Seven: Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Textron, General Dynamics, and United Technologies. The players listed below are not as well known, though they are still favorites of the Pentagon. Their activities are as diverse as their profits are lavish. Their services – aircraft maintenance, cyber, information technology, base support, and much more – are just a sliver of the U.S. government’s overall war portfolio. War is a racket, and the wars will never end as long as Washington, D.C., maintains a standing war industry.
