Manning and Recruiting are years behind the curve if this project is actually going to happen.
That maybe so, but I would suggest that they are innocent given that they recruit, train and man
establishments.
Since the kipper fleet
and its establishment was binned circa 2010, its not really Personal Management task is it? It's essentially a political (or at least high-level policy if you prefer) conundrum - both in origin and solution.
If the Kipper Fleet, and its establishment, is resurrected, Manning and Recruitment get the unenviable task of filling all those new posts.
That will be a bigger challenge by far than buying a dozen or so kites off the Americans.
But...here's hoping.
