Reconstitution

[PuckChaser]

Last time I looked about 40% of P Res folks in the MCpl to WO / Capt/Maj ranks were already on full time service. There isn't a pool of folks ready to surge.

The Reg F needs to sort itself out and wean itself from full time Res F backfill.

GoC and CDS need to stop adding tasks before that can happen. Years after reconstitution became a priority, we're deploying more often, with less people and less O&M to cover the breakage. We're in a toilet spiral and it only stops at MND and cabinet level.

When I retired it seemed every task coming down the line was "no fail". When your troops are run ragged, their equipment basically worn out, and the maintenance budget ain't there, expect failure.
And the failure will be massive and expect lots of finger pointing at DND/CAF ....at the politicians at each other.

That hasn't changed, people just stopped listening and 'no fails' are more like 'yeah, sure if we can manage it but don't count on it for sure'.
