Thanks for the replies to my question.

When I first met the mentioned LCDR and ADM, I asked them the same question out of sheer curiosity, and the ADM said immediately: "Because we're the best." I leave that debate for the USAF/USM/USArmy/USN folks to conclude.

The rotation schedules of your (US) guys is a major hindrance to effective work in the reconstruction aspect. In some fields (or all fields if the project is large enough), projects can take years to be drawn up, negotiated, published and implemented. By that time, you've dealt with 4-5 people doing the same job as they keep rotating every 6 months (1 month of which they spend getting familiar with the entire case, and 2 weeks to instruct the replacement their way around).

Of course, some people are assigned for longer periods.
