Allegations of waste and inefficiency surfaced against U.S. companies contracted by the military to provide equipment and services for troops following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Lawyers for two former KBR employees working in the Middle East accused the company of over-ordering $340 million worth of supplies for U.S. troops and sued KBR in 2011. A dozen years later, KBR has agreed to settle for nearly $109 million, the largest to date in connection with fraud and waste allegations during the war.
