Considering the Regular force has a hard time deploying on 90 days notice unless they are the Reaction group or what ever they call them this year. It will not happen in todays environment,
IRU and High readiness regularly deploy, sometimes that’s in Canada some times it’s not.
to many people against the idea of equipping Reserves with good equipment, providing steady training and real budgets consistently
Hard to organize steady training with inconsistent and unreliable attendance.
I am sure if they equipped a Reserve force correctly, gave them the budget, provided the training you would be surprised what could be accomplished.
Until we can actually compel, or are willing to compel, mandatory attendance it’s all up in the air.
One might be surprised who would show up to perform those functions of uncool stuff if they mix it in with some actual cool stuff.
Eh logistics tasks doesn’t exactly compel excitement and you need people to be familiar with those tasks. It’s takes time in position.
