I'm still trying to figure out how for the life of me they expect to employ 750 troops directly in training roles. That's a pretty huge training infrastructure, and greatly in excess of any demand for trainers that I've seen.

The politicians pass down decrees that they think will help their popularity, and then the military is left to implement the resulting clusterflock.
