Contractor crackdown: Civilian contract employees can now be prosecuted under the UCMJ

Article Abstract:

Congress has broadened the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), placing civilian contract employees under its regulations, and offenses. The move has raised concerns among government contracting firms, but it is argued that if private contractors want to do military jobs for profit in war zones on behalf of the U.S. government, then they should agree to fall under the same laws as the U.S. soldiers.
