Keith Remadra, former chief advisor to the UNP Security Council on Clone affairs As an observer of Clone affairs i am used to the often indecisive way Clones operate. The Clone mind is a strange thing, it can be indecisive to the point of almost paralysis but when the chips are down Clones have an uncanny ability to switch to "death mode" and operate with clarity and directness... until the danger is over when they lapse back to the indecisiveness of before.
But i haven't seen anything yet until the to-ing and fro-ing over the changes to the Clone armed forces and the move to national territorial armies on the member planets of the Clone Star Empire. Despite a successful test on Taragargi where COIN aircraft and category B troops were re-designated as the Taragargi Territorial Guard the Clone Defence Forces HQ has now decided the armed forces will remain as they are.
For a number of years the Clones have tried to get this national territorial armies idea off the ground but the simple fact is they can't decide on whether its worth it or not. The change would save money in the long run but cost billions in start-up costs. I think that might have clinched the Clones to finally decide to keep the status quo.
The troops and planes on Taragargi have returned to the Clone Army and Clone Air Force, an office set up to explore the territorial idea has been disbanded and the idea seems to have been finally killed off.
But knowing the Clones they may resurrect it within the next 18 months...
