On further thought- that still represents 40-60 2LTs from an approx grad class of 400 or so.
You'd know better, but I'd guess that a goodly pct. will be combat arms, specifically airborne infantry rifle platoon leaders in high-speed/low-drag outfits. If so, then they'll be heading to Afghanistan and Iraq in short order.
It would seem that there's an under-utilized resource here unless application takes a back seat to vacumn theory. Brachman ought to be teaching TDY courses. 14 day TDY to USMA for combat arms battalion/brigade S-2s. Five classes, 10 days instruction, twenty students per...
Fourteen hundred man-days for 1Lts/Cpts. Maybe $300,000 plus TDY and course/instructor expenses. $500,000-1.0mil is chump-change for the value. Eighty hours of instruction would be huge. I'm sure that the relevant material is there.
Just idly speculating...
