English term or phrase: there is no vision...
Hi everyone! This phrase appears in an article about military exchanges:

“This is a great place to exchange knowledge and ideas. When we come here as mid-level officers, there is no vision this would ever happen; we come here to do our best,”

I was thinking it could be "Como oficiales de rango medio no nos imaginábamos que esto pasaría..."

Thank you in advance!
