Just to follow up on what El_Presidente said, this has been going on for well over 5 years. I worked with a newly promoted CS C1 who's one and only HQ job was storage and movement planning for the Naval Bases. He only saw things from a Naval Base angle and rarely grasped the bigger picture. Unsurprisingly he got on very well with a certain Army-centric storage and distribution outfit that had little recognisable interest in supporting the Fleet. The aforementioned C1 was offered "early retirement" and gladly seized it. Before retiring he was offered consultancy work by the big storage and movement outfit, at a very good hourly rate (more than as a C1) with all expenses paid. Naturally he took it.

He is but one example.
