....people;
1- time and money spent on C2 training and experience in your "former" frontline missile bait unit; replacing them with available "new" frontline missile bait people
2- new missile bait people "say" they accept (not!) their new C2 assignments from the "loss" of the previous missile bait people in the same site as new missile bait!
3- sitting in a truck waiting to develop tracks that show the timing of your own demise as C2 missile bait
4- having 300 sets of hardware in the warehouse with anxious C2 people to become missile bait, become a bit less effective
