My department is responsible for the lead on the procurement, but it is not my department that decides what kind of equipment our military needs. We know it's not a crop duster. It has to be bigger and better than that, but we do not have within our department the technical expertise to determine what the military should be using. We wouldn't be so presumptuous.
We rely on the military to provide us with what its mission requirements are, what it needs to get the job done.
