The choice to pick up executives rather than engineers is a bit confusing if the goal is to modernize.

Officers are management, a lt col is similar to a director at a tech company.

If they're trying to modernize the strategy and direction of the organization before bringing in additional SMEs, this makes a lot of sense. Good leadership and a good direction really does matter.

After the overall direction and vision is in place, then they can bring in technical SMEs who are hopefully also direct commissioned in and not just contractors hired for a year or 2.
