Ten corporations captured over $115 billion of overseas base contracts

Evidence

Almost a third of the total—more than $115 billion—was concentrated among the top ten corporate recipients alone. Many of the names scoring the biggest profits are familiar: the former Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root, the private security company DynCorp, and BP. Others are less well known: Agility, Fluor, Bahrain Petroleum Company. The complete list includes major transnational construction firms, large food service providers, the world’s biggest oil corporations, and thousands upon thousands of smaller companies receiving government contracts. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 676
