Sir, thank you for that question.
In principle, since this past summer, when we ceased combat operations, Expeditionary Force Command's mission has been the retrograde of the transition operations. That has been the focal point of the present mission transition task force under General Lamarre. He went in and replaced the outgoing task force in July. He had an advance party in place in June.
Prior to June, of course, there was a lot of planning that went on. That's the planning that CANOSCOM would have done with CEFCOM. You talk about how things move with the determination. With that planning, essentially, we went through an understanding of being in the theatre for over ten years, plus there's a lot of material there. The first determination is, what is moving, what is the priority of moving, what does an operational commander need on the ground until when, and what time can we get access? In simple terms, what can you thin out and then what are the priorities for material that is going to move? Added to that is, based on the time and distance, what are the requirements in terms of salvage, disposal, and donation? All those aspects were taken into consideration in advance with enough detail that we were able to put out what we call a material infrastructure directive. This essentially provides enough detailed process so that as the mission transition task force got in place they had the guidelines in terms of how they would conduct business.
