It’s time for contractors to be counted. AOWC is the first nonprofit serving civilian contractors who work alongside U.S. troops to ensure contractors are seen, heard, protected, and counted.

If you are or ever were a civilian military contractor who deployed in support of U.S. troops overseas, please take a moment to join our Contractor Burn Pit Registry at www.becounted.org.

Veterans Won Big With the PACT Act. Now, Civilian Military Contractors Are Starting Their Own Campaign Nonprofit launches efforts to convince the government to provide care for civilian military contractors with burn pit archive.

HUGE thank you to The War Horse for this thoughtful, in-depth article and for helping us get the word out. Please read and share widely.

A graphic promoting the Burn Pit Registry with an image of a civilian contractor standing alongside military personnel next to a large open burn pit. The caption reads: “Were you or a loved one deployed to a war zone as a civilian contractor? Contractors were exposed to toxic burn pits, too. Join our Contractor Burn Pit Registry and be counted.”

Contractors sacrificed and were exposed to burn pits—often longer than troops.

But under the PACT Act, they don’t count.

Join the AOWC Burn Pit Registry at BeCounted.org and help ensure contractors are finally SEEN, HEARD & COUNTED.

Big news! I’m excited to share the launch of AOWC and the 1st Contractor Burn Pit Registry. Every time our troops deploy an invisible army of civilian contractors work along side them, often facing the same risks. Many contractors come home with life altering injuries. There is no VA or VFW… 1/2

A graphic promoting the launch of the AOWC website, with an image of a laptop displaying the webpage and the caption: “We’re live. The Association of War Zone Contractors is here. Founded by contractors, for contractors. Learn more at BeCounted.org.”

We’re LIVE! 🎉 Visit BeCounted.org, the new home for war zone contractors.

Civilian contractors face the same hazards as troops, but under laws like the PACT Act, contractors aren't included.

It’s time for contractors to BE COUNTED.
