Lowball,
Don't entirely agree with your last post. QHIs are for sticks and poles. Regt 2IC has far too much on his plate with security, equipment care, H&S etc to deal with tasking. The "Someone" in charge of tasking is called the Ops Officer, who also worries about the other range of regimental amusements such as operations, exercises, training etc. And, surprise surprise, we have weekly planning meetings. So, thanks for your advice, it's already happening. The only area of debate remaining is that of centralised vs decentralised servicing. I have seen and experienced both, they both have their own merits. I remain on the fence on that one.
