As Jim says, people will keep getting rescued by the service. Nothing changes from military to civi SAR. Troops keep doing the job and continue to be baffled by either 2/3 star officers or SMT decisions.
which is almost exactly what I have said in my previous posts.
How long has it taken to actually meet the terms of the contract? And you can't blame the OEM for all of that delay.
The proof of this contract's success will be in its renewal which, looking at the rearcrew manning problems looming, could prove problematic for any future contractor - perhaps if the pay were to be set at a realistic level.................
That would be a like suggesting the SARF was actually a failure because of (for example) the total mismanagement of procurement in MOD.
not a failure as such, the records speak for themselves, but certainly a prime cause for the loss of military SAR - that and a desire to move it off the military budget as it wasn't 'core business'
