My apologies for the lack of clarity in my original question. My intent was to take what I considered to be a "worst case" scenario for deployment of the CF with the assumption that high intensity combat operations vs. a near peer opponent would be the most taxing type of operation we would likely face in terms of manpower requirements, supply, transportation, equipment loss, training of replacements, medical support, intelligence, etc. (i.e. taxing EVERY area of the CF's organization rather than just particular units affected by the deployment)
That being said, I hoped to learn a) what people with experience in the difficulties of deployment think is a realistic assesment of what we might actually be able to deploy in this situation, and b) see if they feel our actual existing force structure seems to match that assesment. Do our policies/plans overstate what we would really be able to deploy? Is our Army organized around the assumption of being able to deploying Brigade Groups when Battle Groups are the reality? Or are we too focused on Battle Groups when we should be putting more emphasis on Brigade level operations?
