Perhaps a certain amount of coverage for losses is written into
contracts, 
especially for units with a more solid reputation.  For new units trying
to 
break into the game, that's part of the motivation for performing well
-- 
the more successful in battle, the higher the remuneration, and the more

able to replace equipment losses.  As for equipment that a hiring
government 
can't afford -- if it can't afford the equipment, it probably can't
afford 
the mercs.
