Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Department of Defense contractors can be prosecuted for engaging in trafficking in persons overseas. This includes any contractor or subcontractor involved in providing services to the Department of Defense who knowingly engages in, benefits from, or fails to take appropriate steps to prevent trafficking activities. Violations can lead to severe penalties, including contract termination and criminal prosecution. The law emphasizes holding contractors accountable for their actions and ensuring compliance with anti-trafficking measures.

Can Military civilians and contractors prosecuted for engaging in TIP overseas?

Possibly, but probably not. American contractors were employed by the Federal Government, which put them under the same protection as our military; they would be prosecuted in the US, and under US law (see the April 2015 conclusions of the Blackwater-Iraq trials). Regarding the other part of your question; 'contractor' is not a status; a person is either military or a civilian; but regardless, if they are employed on behalf, or by the government, they are subject to American law.
