The reason we believe the change was needed more generally was that the admissibility decision does not necessarily require the skills or experience specific to military officers. We are not excluding military officers; we are saying that, alongside military officers, you could use civilians for that task. We believe that the service complaints system would be more streamlined by allowing any competent person to deal with the complaint rather than it just having to be a military officer, thereby easing resourcing pressures and delivering better value for money.
