▲===Fatalities===
▲By the end of 2012, the number of contractors who had died in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait had reached 3,000. Scholars have studied whether contractor deaths have an effect on the public's "casualty sensitivity" when substituted for military fatalities.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Schooner |first1=Steven L |last2=Berteau |first2=David J |date=2013 |title=Emerging Policy and Practice Issues (2012) |url=https://scholarship.law.gwu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http://scholarship.law.gwu.edu/&httpsredir=1&article=1326&context=faculty_publications |url-status=live |pages=15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180713015223/https://scholarship.law.gwu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fscholarship.law.gwu.edu%2F&httpsredir=1&article=1326&context=faculty_publications |archive-date=2018-07-13 |access-date=2019-04-25}}</ref> Casualty sensitivity refers to the inverse relationship between military deaths and public support for a sustained military engagement. Contractor deaths may account for nearly 30% of total US battlefield losses since the beginning of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.<ref name="schoonerswan">{{Cite journal |last1=Schooner |first1=Steven |last2=Swan |first2=Collin |date=2012-01-01 |title=Dead Contractors: The Un-Examined Effect of Surrogates on the Public's Casualty Sensitivity |journal=GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works}}</ref>
