There were contractors for everything. And sadly, often these contractors would
work alongside Army personnel who were trained to do the exact same thing, but paid
about 1/3rd as much.
Once again, if the Army already has something to do the job, why
do we need something else to do it, and pay them more?- “bobbyyen” a Soldier from CA

With all of the thousands of groups out there, how can you know where you best fit in?
Let us help! Scroll down to see a list of some of the biggest, best, and brightest organizations in working on the Iraq War.
To help you learn more about these groups, we’ve added a “review board” feature, where volunteers who’ve worked with a group before can report back on their experiences.
It’s kind of like “consumer reports” but for volunteers, instead.
( Note: Know of a group active around the war in Iraq, that’s not listed here? Drop us a line, and tell us about them! )
