UOR purchases for Afghanistan are just that: for Afghanistan. Permanent needs will be met by projects given time to deliver the 95% (or better) solution. UORs are rushed through with more of an emphasis is on getting something fast & so in a lot of cases we may be getting the only the 75% solution.geo said:I think that a lot of our procurement process is targeted to a single mission right now - not planning on overall world committments beyond Afghanistan.... if we intend to go into a dangerous theatre, the planners expect that we will no longer be committed to ISAF at KAF - and the kit can thus be moved.
... the trucks will be a little later.newfin said:IIRC I believe I read somewhere that they are going to be in theatre starting at the next rotation - which is in Feb/08?
