Yeah. Happening all across the country... 1 MPU in Edmonton, 2 MPU out of Ontario, 5 MPU in Quebec (I'm assuming, I actually haven't seen anything on this), and 3 MPU in the Atlantic have stood up. The debate is heated as to whether this is a good thing. My own personal opinion, buttressed by having employed reservists on operations in Afghanistan, is that this is indeed a good thing, if only because it may give a larger opportunity to the reserve force MPs to be employed in an operational setting, as the regular force MP side is finding itself increasingly stretched between garrison commitments, close protection and other specialized duties, and overseas work. I had 2 reserve members in my platoon in Afghanistan, and while I had to ensure a bit of supervision on the police side of the house, they were great soldiers, and I would employ reservists without reservation in any deployed organization I command or head at any point in the future.
