CONTINGENCY CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL. Defense contractors and employees of defense contractors and associated subcontractors, including U.S. citizens, U.S. legal aliens, TCNs, and citizens of HNs who are authorized to accompany U.S. military forces in contingency operations or other military operations, or exercise designated by the geographic Combatant Commander. This includes employees of external support, systems support, and theater support contractors. Such personnel are provided with and appropriate identification card under the Geneva Conventions.

CONTRACTORS DEPLOYING WITH THE FORCE (CDF). A sub-category of “contingency contractor personnel” defined above. CDF are employees of system support and external support contractors, and associated subcontractors, at all tiers, who are specifically authorized in their contract to deploy through a deployment center or process and provide support to U.S. military forces in contingency operations or in other military operations, or exercises designated by a geographic

Combatant Commander. CDF includes forward-deployed system support and external support contractors designated to remain in place in theater when a contingency is declared. Such personnel are provided with an appropriate identification card under the Geneva Conventions. CDF usually work for the U.S. military forces under a deployable contract agreement in peacetime and in many cases have a long-term relationship with a specific unit. They usually live with and provide services directly to military forces and receive Government-furnished support similar to DoD civilians. CDF do not include TCN or local national personnel hired in theater using local procurement (e.g., day laborers).

ESSENTIAL CONTRACTOR SERVICES. A service provided by a firm or an individual under contract to the Department of Defense to support vital systems in support of military missions considered of the utmost importance to U.S. mobilization and wartime mission. The services, which shall be designated in the contract, are essential because the DoD components may not have military or

DoD civilians to perform these services immediately or the effectiveness of defense systems or operations may be seriously impaired, and interruption is unacceptable when those services are not immediately available. Most support under external support and systems support contracts falls into this category as well as some support under theater support contracts.
