Coalition environment, your staff system morphs and blends with your partners. I suspect with the current new doctrine in IM, that we will move to the S staff in the next few years. I hear your pain though, I have worked in HQs for 10 years. I know our doctrine on HQs very well, but I have never worked in a doctrinal HQ. There is always someone who organizes the HQ based on his own ideas with the resulting chaos. Doctrine is designed to make us work together inter-changeably, you do your own personal doctrine, the result is chaos.
