The contract based Technical Services industry could suffer during the coming years as the United States Department of Defense works to rein in spending. With the Iraq war in decline, many renewable contracts have gone off the books. Also, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has set the military's focus on affordability measures by incentivizing cost management. With the goal set at reducing spending by $100 billion during the next five years, companies within the Technical Services sector that receive a large portion of their revenues from military contracts will be forced to look elsewhere to remain profitable.
