As a military advisor, you have been assigned to improve the military of a small developing nation. This nation has a medium coastline and has the terrain and climate of Botswana. The key goal you are trying to achieve is efficiency and cost effectiveness. How would you go about achieving these goals?

Buy cheap AK's and life jackets.
Maybe even a wedding dress or two.

Probably training and alot of second hand equipment. Since air is out of the question due to funds, getting some AA would be a good priority.

Patrol boats for coast lines, maybe a cutter or two just in case. Probably just copy the USCG as closely as I could with a what would presumably a pittance for the budget.
I'd also ally with the west to get some of those sweet, sweet training dollars and personnel, and institute a merit based promotion system and military college.

Yes. Its a good movie.

Depends on who the neighbors are desu. If the neighboring countries aren't hostile, I don't think there's much of a need to invest too heavily in equipment. Probably training and boats for a coast guard (proportionate to the coast).

Invest in Smaller ISR platform such as Beachcraft King Air or if you have the money a Modular C-130 with conversion capabilities for different flight profiles. King Air's will have smaller footprint but C-130's can double as multi-mission capability/logistics. Hell maybe even a couple Aerostats for extra/static coverage.
Better ISR leads to better intelligence and overall better efficiency in movements and less waste.

efficiency and cost effectiveness? keeping the u.s. military away would achieve both those
aerogavins with assault gliders
>>32259692
I've been waiting to buy a 12 plane fleet of these. I can't think of a better reason

Ak-47s jeeps or Toyota pick ups with various different weapons platforms, bush planes to patrol the coast line. If shit hits the fan, use the money saved to bring in a PMC company's to do the harder and more technical stuff.

Adopt the Rhodesian model but swapping the expensive equipment for cheaper variants.
