Army Reserve Restructuring

Post in thread 'Reserve Weekend / Part Time BMQ' Reserve Weekend / Part Time BMQ


How much of BMQ could be written into a non-miltary High School course?

Civics - chain of command?
First Aid?
Fieldcraft/survival?
Camp management?
Navigation?
Emergency management?
Hazardous materials management?
Pre-BMT PT standard?
Communications procedures?
Military history?
Weapons safety?
LOAC?

Not to turn out soldiers but to do two things

Familiarize civilians with useful skills
Reduce BMQ training times for those joining.

Boy Scouts and, in BC, a CORE course used to cover almost all of that for the average non-urban teenager.

I litterally learned Basic Winter Warfare minus the weapons in Scouts.

And I’ll add…

It was one night a week, one weekend camp a month or so and 2 weeks in the summer. Very similar to the reserve schedule.

So the Class A schedule could allow for useful training?
