It is not quite a get-out-of-jail card. There is command and control generally, so the required behaviour would be the norm. There has to be some chain of command. There are people who participate in academic societies and there is some very good work done in the archives and so on. To me, that is not a political matter, but somebody might say they need permission to make an address based on research or whatever. There is a lot of education within the Defence Forces and people study various military tactics and so on.
