The US military is advocating moving to direct entry for pinchpoint roles at up to 1* level to bring talent in quickly. Controversial but potentially huge wins if it can be made to work.

Is it time for the UK military to look to replenish gaps in the talent / gene pool at SO1 level by bringing in PQ / SQEP types to fill slots rather than muddling through and soldiering on?

Is this already happening in specialised areas such as cyber?
