Army Reserve Restructuring

[Kirkhill]

About 6-8,000 probably

And next year another 6-8,000, and 6-8,000 the year after.

In five years you have a reserve force of 30-40,000 with slots in a military organization and 10 weeks basic plus Class A service.

Really if you want a self sustaining reserve force, it needs to be double the size it currently is, with the terms of service we have. In order to have a sustainable pool of instructors who can regularly go to the schools. You wouldn't even need new units or anything, just expand current ones, perhaps making regiments actually a regiment.

I wouldn’t call PCF - Bde Ex - PCF - Op Lentus - Live Ex - PCF - Work Up - Deployment “a rest” but maybe that’s just perspective from those of us still doing this job.

Agreed on all points. In was an out of touch statement that brings nothing to the discussion.

Well said.

In the timeframe that was drawn, post war reg force duty would have looked easy.
