Don't worry, it'll all be ok: Quote Punaro said he expects a "quick turnaround" on the latest recommendations, praising Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates as a "bureaucracy buster" who embraced 20 of 23 proposals the commission made in its interim report last March. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about that first 100 hours - would that be fast enough? Two quick points (wish I had more time to add to the discussion today). (1) Homeland Defense (HD) w/in DoD does not set requirements … which effectively means they have very limited ability to impact budget priorities. (2) The specific issue of CBRN readiness predates 2001. Much of what’s come forward over the last couple years is largely creditable to the persistence of Mr. Jean Reed, SES, who spent 15 years as professional staff on the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) after 30 years as an artillery officer before returning to the Pentagon in Dec 2005. (He’s also a physicist. Jan 07 GAO Report: CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE: Management Actions Are Needed to Close the Gap between Army Chemical Unit Preparedness and Stated National Priorities Of the Army’s Chemical Corps companies, who are largely responsible CBRN response, 58 of 78 are National Guard or Reserve. (NB: Yes, I am aware that FA 52s do rad & nuc too). The USMC’s Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF), while well-funded Congressionally, is generally considered unlikely to deploy further than across the Chesapeake to protect Congress, Presidential inaugurations, etc. VR/Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.
