BUT -- the P piece is only part of the issue. The rest of DOTLM-PF needs to be addressed, also.
For instance, right now MAAGs (ODCs, etc, we can't even call them MAAGs) are limited to a maximum of 6 pers. with the exceptions of a handful of specified missions. You can't do what Bob wants until restrictions such as these are lifted.
Of course there are other non-personnel issues.
Despite whatever obstacles are out there, we can make progress in this mission. 1. We have done this before, although at a time when the military was bigger and the PERSTEMPO lower and 2. we're doing it now, just on a very reduced scale.
