The new chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting.
This week's chapters start out with problems getting the new unit organized and operational. There is a problem with the Team Leader of the assigned Team (A-23). Shortly, more personnel begin to arrive to fill out the unit.
More problems surface when the unit is directed to participate in a field exercise that begins in 10 days. There are supply and equipment problems, but the new unit is ready to leave for the exercise on time. In the field, they finally learn what their mission is on the exercise.
These chapters illustrate many of the problems in setting up a new unit. There is everything from insufficient personnel to supply problems. This is further exasperated by a headquarters that doesn't understand how they operate when deployed to the field. These are age old problems, as were pointed out to me by other military personnel. I have also seen them when setting up a new unit in Thailand.
Enjoy these chapters. More next week.
Keep Well,
