42 Stabilization and Reconstruction Staffing: Developing U.S. Civilian Personnelnel, where reserve personnel could be drawn from the ranks of retiredgovernment officials. We note as well from the CPA experience that alarge number of the government employees were temporary, broughton under the authority of U.S. Code, Title 5, Section 3161 (referred toas “3161s”).Second, note that it is not a requirement to have a standing staffof 3,000 but, rather, a requirement to be able to deploy such a staffwhen needed. In particular, area experts for all areas of concern for theUnited States must be trained and ready to deploy. Exactly what thisnumber would be is not knowable without creating a manning tablefor the proposed organizations. However, if we assume that 10 percentof the 2,000 government staff must be area experts, the U.S. governmentmust be prepared to deploy 200 area experts. Referring back tothe earlier discussion about the need to deploy up to three simultaneousSSTR operations in any given area and using the number ofState Department regional bureaus as a guide, 14 the number of areaexperts needed will be six times higher than those who would actuallybe deployed. Therefore, 1,800 generalists (i.e., those without areaexpertise) and 1,200 area experts (200 in each of the six areas associatedwith State Department regional bureaus) would be required to bedeployable, for a total requirement of 3,000 federal government personnel,not including contract personnel on the staff.The above discussion describes the assumptions and functionalrequirement for the number and general type of personnel the UnitedStates must be prepared to deploy. Reserve corps personnel in theS/CRS rubric are not included in this number, although our discussionof the A-Team concept describes the general characteristics of suchstaffs. Together, these two categories represent the demand for personnelfor the large civilian staffs for SSTR operations. We have alsodescribed above the supply sources of personnel. The two sides of thequestion are depicted in Figure 3.2.14 There are six State Department regional bureaus: African Affairs, Near East Asian Affairs,South Asian Affairs, East Asian and Pacific Affairs, European and Eurasian Affairs, andWestern Hemisphere Affairs.

In Chapter Four, we discussthis element and in the final chapter put forth options and recommendationson how to fill this need.
