In theory (and I stress in theory) the unit should have "dets" in HRMS with geogrpahical locations indicated. That way the CM sees who's where; support bases see who's where...
However, that level of granularity sometimes gets lost - the Buckshot Fusiliers show up as being in Swift Current in HRMS, but B Company is actually in Tisdale. The unit knows it, the Bde knows it, the Area may know it, but at the national level, where the structures are input into HRMS, the information isn't known, leading to this sort of confusion.
Short solution: EC action to create a section called 37 Svc Bn Det Moncton, with GeoLoc Moncton NB; then move this Reg F position to that det.
Many units have multiple detachments; email, fax & phone are heavily used, but there are also increased TD costs for ufll-time staff and the unit command team. Not so bad when it's emrely an hour or two by road; when they're spread over a province or two things get more challenging.
