NATO, throughout the world, is increasingly called to perform missions and
create outcomes that are reliant on contractor support. In fact, contractors perform
myriad functions in modern, often complex, international military operations.
Additionally, there is increased scrutiny on militaries to become better stewards of
scarce resources, to eliminate potential waste, and to reduce abuse of taxpayer
money due to poor management, operational redundancy and duplication of effort,
and outright corruption. Because of an increased reliance on contractors and recent
demands for improved accountability and performance, NATO international military
organizations will benefit by incorporating NATO Phase Zero Contracting Operations
(N-PZCO), strategic and integrative planning, for contingency and expeditionary
operations. The N-PZCO construct fits squarely into the best practices already
recognized by NATO, including self-assessment, while ensuring operations are wellplanned, coordinated, and executed with respect to the efficiencies and
effectiveness mandates of the participants and supporting entities.
