It’s is filling skills gaps or be it on a very temporary and ad hoc basis

Originally posted by Anzac View Post360 staff at the DoD and they still cannot manage uploading a document to their website properly. Is this some sort of government department they send all the civil service dunces to like the vehicle Licensing centre in Swansea ala Yes Minister fame? I mean looking at some of the bio's of the leading lights at the DoD at Asssitant Sec level none of them seem to have an advanced degree in Strategic or Defence Studies which is mandatory for anyone advancing a career in the policy, acquisition or capability areas of Defence and National Security in most other countries these days.
In fact, in the U.K. civil servants can attend the equivalent of our JCSC and SCSC
