Chile and Argentina go professional SysAdmin
Interesting story on Strategy Page: http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htun/articles/20051001.aspx.
Sent to me by reader Bill Millan. Describes how Chile and Argentina are combining their efforts to create a standing peacekeepingg force. underscoring that the SysAdmin function is one that most militaries are capable of--and all they're really capable of--in terms of operations away from home.
The desire is there. Their perceptions of utility andneed are there. What's missing is the U.S. providing the larger, global rule set to put all these resources, including our own forces, to better and more efficient use.
Addressing this rule-set gap is a major goal of Blueprint for Action. In fact, it's the entire first chapter.
