More PRTs or More personnel on PRTs
The recent House Armed Services Report on Provincial Reconstruction Teams states that the current 24 PRTs in Iraq and 26 in Afghanistan are "underfunded and undermanned."
Here is the AP article from Friday April 18, 2008 and the link to the HASC report:

From what I hear, State just doesn't have the budget to get more non-military boots on the ground.
However, it seems that PRTs are the way to win "hearts and minds" by getting the economies and the societies back on their feet.
Is the grander solution: more PRTs or more personnel within the existing PRTs??? And therefore more contractors/specified military support?
And then on top of that, how much does Congress need to spend to make this happen?
