If the force is properly balanced, I don't think we get anywhere near that. For 100K we'd probably get a 3-division corps and some Comm Z troops. And the rest would go to naval and air force formations.
It would be a good experiment to pick a reserve unit and deploy it conplete.
Only one probably capable of doing that is the QOR, last I checked they were at about 86% TES.
And that 86% evaporates when you get those folks with high paying civilian jobs saying "enh, no thanks."
Agreed. Start with a full platoon or so and build to sending a whole sub-unit to see what happens.
Not necessarily. There's a few reserve units that I think could handle sending a subunit. Personally I'd experiment by sending a full-subunit to Latvia and see what sticks. The armoured echelon in Latvia is already 60-70% reserve so its certainly doable.
Fitch CT'd to the Res F and announced to one and all how Reserve he was (on an annuitant 330 day class B while collecting his pension).Fitch? He was RegF and the project's manager from 2001 on - but regardless, I always wondered why there isn't a more traditional project director and project manager relationship for these types of projects. Fitch was described as the project manager with a background as a military engineer with minimal ARes experience (commanding LFWA). I'm hard pressed to see how one could do project direction without a mixed team of RegF and ARes or a project management team without strong RegF and DM staff.
I continue to be adamant that building a strong, viable ARes force will require, in the initial phase, hybridization involving a large commitment of RegF leadership to raise the bar until close to self-sufficiency can be reached. IMHO, self-sufficiency cannot be achieved above the major and MWO level because of the very heavy training and experience time commitment required to reach LCol and CWO rank. There are ways to achieve that, including using a modified Class B service, but fully manned and fully equipped ARes units will need fully trained and full-time leadership.
The NDA requires nothing like job protection or volunteerism. If the GoC places a unit or individual members of the PRes on s31(1) active service or the MND calls them out on s 33(2)(b) service then a name on the enrollment form is enough.
In keeping with my brilliance as a military planner, I have adopted the Monash model of an army division which limits it to 10,000 all ranks and 2,000 vehicles (which includes all of the division's CSS troops and resources). That leaves 40,000 for the ComZ together with the existing multiple tens of thousands of RegF, Class B and civilian cubicle bunnies. That should be more than enough.
Simple, you issue an OIC activating unit X from Date Y to Date Z for the purpose of Operation Bloggins revenge in Antropia. As per job protection legislation in every province, being a named Operation with set start and end dates they are protected. DND then collects and contacts each employer, or their HR department, and say look bloggins is being called to active duty until this date, they are legally protected, here's the law, and we will be watching.
Sure, but if it's going to be some kind of pay raise of x%, and some kind of targeted benefits increase, then should be pretty straightforward to multiply the pay tables by 1.x and pump it out, if it's actually a GoC priority. The ministers, cabinet and TBS president can do that kind of thing pretty easily if they flex their existing legislative authorities, especially now that the supp budget increase got passed by the Senate last week with the $8.4 billion increase for this year's budget.
We just had the same issue with OP cadence, tried to pull people in to help count warehouse stock. Was shut down pretty quick once discovered
Maybe the real friends are the warehouses we counted along the way.

I think the idea that these soldiers were not going to be doing weekend exercises after they came back from pre deployment training was especially grating. To a degree I get it, likely the core of the unit was in that platoon, on the other hand you have to manage work load at some point.
