"Ideal. I will work on getting the applications available later today and we can see if anyone has any particular interest and we can work from there. The MAP and Investigators can then take the lead to determine compatibility. Is there anything else you'd like to discuss regarding enlargement?
I'd then like to go onto the next topic of Military Policy. This sort of ties in with the need for more training exercises but also operations and bases. The Military Committee will be working towards deciding operational requirements, but I think to enhance our forward presence, each member state should have a dedicated 'ISAF' air and navy base. This is still under national control but available for ISAF forces to use and have a permanent presence. Whether that just means advisers, or an infantry unit; that would be determined by country-to-country discussion. To summarize the proposed change:
- Each member state must have a readily-available Airbase and Naval Port that can be utilized by ISAF members.
- Each ISAF member must have a presence in one another countries (This can be as minimal as advisers, to air squadrons. This is decided between the host and the guest).
- More frequent but smaller exercises will take place, and build up to wargames. Each member should commit time and resources to both participate and host these.
- Members are advised to participate in supporting and utilizing other ISAF assets such as the ADI, get involved in the IAW and participate in ISAF-wide operations such as the Task Force designed to protect our trade routes.
- I'd also propose each Task Force and Exercise be assigned a 'commander', if approved, we would need to decide one to manage the ISAF Task Force protecting our trade routes.
This can also tie onto the topic of peacekeeping and other operations:
- ISAF should push more with regards to humanitarian support, peacekeeping and supporting the development of other countries. Not just to be seen as an alliance dedicated to war fighting."
