Is Army and outsourcing a new concept? Not really. Five years ago 
The Army's proposal to contract out as many as 214,000 military and civilian jobs could pose a threat to national security, a group of 68 House members warned yesterday.
The lawmakers, including four Republicans, sent a letter to Army Secretary Thomas E. White yesterday criticizing his Oct. 4 decision to review the jobs of 58,727 military personnel and 154,910 civilian employees to see whether they could be performed better and more cheaply by the private sector. The affected workers perform such support functions as accounting, legal counsel, maintenance and communications.
Then in the same year this massive outsourcing plan got a sanction from the center.
Army Secretary Thomas White has approved a plan that could require that more than 200,000 Army jobs be put up for competition with private firms, but a key congressman Wednesday warned the service to consult with Congress before outsourcing any jobs. Link
