Seems ripe for exploitation. What's stopping the PM-but-really-Major from invoking chain of command and making overriding decisions? In an org like the military I'm not sure you could just say "please act like a PM and don't make broader decisions" to someone with seniority and expect them to not exercise their authority, unless you actually revoke their authority. Or, what's stopping the Major from installing a friendly and symbolic tech advisor? Stranger things have happened than bureaucrats hiring and building departments designed to do nothing but legitimize and push forward their own agenda.
