The words in the above statemet seem to have been jumbled. To correct the 
word order: The JCS has prohibited further deployment of IP networks (for mission 
critical communications) until the necessary prioritization is possible. They 
do not have such a waiver.

I don't think that the "ops folks" are the ones to be telling you what the 
requirements are for the future. I think they tend to think and concern 
themselves with what is currently in use. You need to talk to the standards people and 
those planning the future networks.
