I read the same brief and IIRC, the points were:

1. Current system not working as planned and not cost effective.
2. Primarily focused on aircrew to detrimant of other branches.
3. Flying/UAS commitment directly in conflict with increasing Uni/education workloads.

Solution:

1. EFT removed from UASs and re-established elsewhere.
2. Flying reduced to 10 hours per year per student.
3. UAS opened up to all branches.
4. Personal development training (Force Development/air power? can't remember - sorry).

I also seem to recall that there was a shift of pilots to the AEFs (may be mistaken here) and also that UAS Cdrs may be drawn from branches other than aircrew.

I think that was about it; if I can find the BN I'll post it.

Cheers
