If you research it you will find there are a ton of "contractors" across the board

But im guessing from your user name that your probably not interested in those from say KVR who feed us, or the techs who run commo etc etc

The number of contract guys in theater is a little misleading when most people think they are all shooters, while in fact the majority are there in a support role
