The deployment was marred by tragedy at the very beginning when the Chief of Police, LtCol Sayfullah Khan Rashidi, (who had previously served as Nawa District's Chief of Police during 3/3's deployment there) was killed along with two other Afghan National Police (ANP) by an IED on 6 November.
Despite nearly all receiving an orientation pre-deployment there were concerns expressed in this study by team members who did not feel their clinical background was well suited to their tasks, their role was not clearly defined pre deployment or that their actual role did not match their intended role.
In the same magazines that last week carried accounts of troop deployments, there were recruitment ads for women.
In addition to that, in real-life deployments, there are various scenarios (as discussed in the "Introduction" section) where a larger network is divided into relatively smaller number of nodes on a single channel where the links of the same channel can stay in the same contention neighborhood.
Leading into deployments, there are longer work hours as you prepare your equipment and engage with your fellow soldiers in battle drills that will be used overseas.
And while our accounting may be skewed based on the variances of the chart vs actual deployments, there was nothing to indicate that a large number of customers clamored for these IP services -- and virtually no one took the Wireless Home Phone.
While this may reflect planning and team selection issues, it should also be noted that, for early deployments, there was little time available for full orientation to occur and that needs change rapidly.
Moreover, due to the nature of random deployment, there is not any deployment or neighbor information available for all the sensor nodes prior to network deployment.
Wolsink [10] argues that while the deployment of smart grid infrastructure is crucial for further renewables deployment, there is a tendency to continue to neglect social determinants.
"Without full deployment, there is no way we could have communicated with it as the radio frequency antenna was under the solar panels," explained Prof Mark Sims, Beagle's mission manager from Leicester University.
