After reading a thread about a young man/women? asking about Res Trg than immediate deployment, got a discussion going here at work.
With the amount of time invested into reservists for selection, predeployment, deplyment and post deployment should there be a compulsory service be require of these soldiers. They are placed in most cases on Class C Service for 6-9 months anyways.
An idea was for a reservist that was selected for deployment to be assigned a initial engagement or similar, that would sign him/her to three years of total full time service. They could for the first year serve with the unit they will be going over with, a 6 Month deployment, and then 12-18 months at a Trg School/ Area or CMTC passing on their experience. The before and after time would be both beneficial to both the mbr and the CF.
Especially with the Schools in short supply of instructors and demo troops this could be a huge bonus. Ideally they would train other reservists and gaurantee Reserve Course running especially in the summer. This would free up the Reg force augmentation that continually get tasked to these course. For the members allow them to get the proper follow up care after the deployment, especially if it was it was a hairy one.
Although this is just scratching the surface of ideas, any though or other ideas.
