editThe article as it stands reads as if it came from a military press release, making LOGCAP, a controversial aspect of private military companies in modern warfare, sound wholly uncontroversial The Angry Optimist (talk) 23:07, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- I completely agree. This page could be improved by: the inclusion of published articles or resources provided from non-military sources; rewriting the language (although some terminology is obviously necessary, many phrases reflect a military writing style that is foreign to wikipedia, such as "In 1985, LOGCAP was established primarily to preplan for contingencies and to leverage the existing civilian resources."); largely removing the first paragraph, which reads as a justification of the existence of LOGCAP. These changes, along with the addition of context, should transform this into a useful article. FunnyYetTasty (talk) 01:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
While adding other material could make the article more neutral, I think that deleting this page would be a bad idea. This article is actually a bit more no-nonsense than the press releases that I did find, and one of the few articles with just a boiled down explanation of what LOGCAP is.

[[Category:"However, as a result of the criticisms leveled against KBR for contract performance, AMC ended the LOGCAP III contract in 2007." This line is completely untrue. LCIII did not end until 2011 and it was not because of KBR performance. LCIV had been planned for years and was actually supposed to happen years earlier. ]]
