Where can I find info, phones, websites, etc. if I want to look for a job as a contractor or volunteer in Iraq or Afghanistan? Please be specific. I am not an American citizen, yet I live in the USA and I want to help out with the nation-building in either of both countries. I don't count with military training (although I am in a very good physical shape), so I am looking into managerial, clerical or logistical jobs.
Lets let the iraqis get first chance at jobs in Iraq.
Like you know WTF yer talking about.
No mercy!
I'd be very happy if your contributions were kept substantive, as I am seriously considering working there for a year or so. And what are the requirements and constraints for a foreigner when it comes to work with the US Army in both countries (Iraq and Afghanistan)? I am also 30 and I don't want to go through military training, because I believe would be more useful in a managerial position. Any help will be appreciated!
I just put that into Google and a lot of things came up, that's a good place to start.

Here is one -- it's an odd place to look at job, but they have links to listings.
Scroll down in the following link, they have a large number of specific, related links.

Good luck!
