Civilianization

There is no strategy for Civilianizing the Ministry, not one that I can see.  By Civilianization we mean not just replacing Uniformed Police with Civilians in the Ministries, but also melding the Contracted Civilians we hired, who operate at the upper echelons, with the rest of the Civil Service Corps.  Clearly no one wants to take this on, and the Afghans like the status quo just fine.  The more on high-priced payrolls that others fund the better.  So I am taking it upon myself, and any other fool who has nothing else to do, to find an Afghan/Coalition solution to long-term sustainability and affordability.  Luckily I found a willing Brit named Samantha who is a whiz at Human Resourcing to help work this.  Together we will slay this beast and bring some structure and reasonableness to the issue.  I do have my doubts as we are talking about big money salaries, but I have to try.  I have now become “Mr. Civilianization” in addition to my other titles: “Santa George”, and Mr. “Old Bills”.  My tutors during MoDA training warned me; George if they see you are a doer, they will work you to death.  Oh well.
