The King's College study team strongly recommended against such a force structure, labelling it "unaffordable" and raising concerns over the impact of conscription upon East Timorese society and military readiness.
Tim Penelitian King College sangat dianjurkan terhadap struktur kekuatan seperti itu, pelabelan itu "terjangkau" dan meningkatkan kekhawatiran atas dampak wajib militer pada masyarakat Timor Timur dan kesiapan militer.
