Mr. Mosier (Counsel for Respondent Fluor Corporation)

Mr. Chang, counsel for the petitioner, argues that state tort claims should apply to military contractors, challenging the limits of federal preemption. Mr. Mosier from Fluor Corporation counters that uniquely federal interests in wartime activities necessitate preemption of such claims. Mr. Gannon represents the U.S. position, advocating for a test to determine when contractor claims may be preempted based on combat activities. The discussion delves into military supervision, constitutional arguments, and the implications of contractor liability in combat zones.
