LtCol Dick out here just solving our problems for us! I can't imagine why every BN CMDR and Gunner wouldn't copy and paste as much of this as possible, respective to their unique situations/institutions. Absolutely no one is surprised that: Marines, NOT contractors solved this problem, the government procurement process is a bureaucratic labyrinth leading to the seventh circle of hell, there were a ton of impediments to success and refusing to accept "We can't do this" got 3d LAR (and the Marine Corps) a big win, and of course this was done out here in beautiful MCAGCC, so accept those orders out here and stop making excuses.
Drones should be classified as ammunition, which they are, completely expendable as indeed they will be expended. Our problem is logistics, everything else is far less important.
Great work!!

You just bypassed a few years worth of bureaucracy, inertia, and indolence to get this done. An exemplary and inspiring effort 😎
