The Helmand PRT Sample Clauses

The Helmand PRT. The Helmand PRT forms an interesting case in the constellation of various PRT models that operated in Afghanistan. Initially, the Helmand PRT was commanded by the deputy commander of TFH and overseen by the PCRU. In the Joint UK Plan for Helmand, the PRT was to be responsible for fostering governance and development, while TFH was to provide security. Concurrently with the initial plan, the civilian component of the British mission had been resourced to work around Lashkar Gah and Gereshk, with less than ten civil servants from FCO and DfID. The rest of the positions were filled by the military.1382 As such, the PRT was dependent on the resources provided by the military such as transport and force protection. With this configuration, the PRT was to be a conduit for the integrated approach.1383 However, as the plan was subsequently discarded in the spring of 2006, the civilian contribution was naturally affected.1384 1382 Rodwell. Theory and the reality, p. 24. 1383 FCO. Capturing the Lessons, p. 4. 1384 Interviews British civil servant 2; British civil servant 3. As a result, the PRTs operations were marred from the outset, as the civilian members were not allowed, due to security considerations, to venture beyond Lashkar Gah. This drew some ire from the military as this undermined an integrated approach to operations. At the same time, the heavy fighting in the early rotations precluded constructive work on development and governance. Consequently, the PRT had limited contact with the population.1385 An additional impediment to integrated working was the cultural differences between the military and civil servants from the FCO and DfID. This divide manifested itself in the planning processes: where the military plans for relatively short periods of time with concrete objectives, their civilian counterparts tend to take a more longitudinal view with an iterative approach. Given the predominance of military personnel in Helmand, their planning procedures prevailed.1386 Moreover, in the early Herrick-rotations, the incoming TFH-commanders generally brought their own six-month plans that were not coordinated with the PRT.1387 This is not to say that the civilians in the PRT were themselves always of the same mind. By design, the civil servants from DfID and FCO reported back to their own departments instead of PRT-leadership. Of course, all these organizational barriers hindered unity of effort within the PRT. As the mission progressed, the coordination betw...

  • Displacement Rights Regular classified employees in positions which have been eliminated or reduced in hours shall have the right to displace the least senior employee in their classification whose assignment most closely approximates their own hours per day and days per work year.

In the event of an employee having the option of exercising their displacement rights, the following displacement procedure will clarify the language in 15.5 and be applied as the displacement procedure. The steps will be taken in numerical order. 15.5.1 An employee whose position is eliminated or reduced shall first be placed in a vacant position with an equal assignment in the same classification when compared with the employee’s current position. 15.5.2 If the previous option is unavailable, the employee shall be placed in a vacant position that has additional assigned time in the same classification when compared with the employee’s current position. 15.5.3 If the previous option is unavailable, the employee shall have the right to displace the least senior employee in the same classification whose assignment is equal in hours per day and days per work year. 15.5.4 If the previous option is unavailable, the employee shall have the right to displace the least senior of the less senior employees in their classification whose assignment most closely approximates the employee’s own hours per day and days per work year. This assignment may hold more hours or fewer hours than the employee’s current position. If there are two positions in option 4 above, whose hours equally approximate the employee’s current position, one with more hours and one with less, the employee will have the right to the position held by the least senior employee regardless of the number of hours of the position. 15.5.5 If the previous option results in the elimination of the employee’s current Health and Welfare benefits, as an alternative, the employee shall also have the option of bumping into an equal or lower classification, which they previously held as a classified employee, for the purpose of non-elimination of Health and Welfare benefits. The employee will repeat the sequence of options 1-4, outlined in this rule for equal or lower classification.
