Just jumping right in as a Lt Col? Is there a lot of precedent for that? I know that the armed forces have worked with a lot of scientists before, like in the Manhattan Project, but my understanding is that most of them remained civilians.

No officer basic training course to teach them how to be an army officer?

They are privileged consultants playing dress up.
