Tangentially, haven't seen much being made of Latvia in recruiting material. "Hey 20-somethings, want to do Army Stuff™, GTFO of Nanaimo, and get to go to Europe while you're doing it? If yes, then (trades) are for you!"I don’t know how many recruits you netting with the call to defend the Winnipeg Airport. Contrary to your assertion, the time we actually did have a surplus in recruits was when we were engaged in combat operations in recruiting - young people want adventure not to be used as security guards. Now for my next point.
As far as BDF but for civil sites... it's probably something that should be sandtabled in cooperation with everyone else likely to be involved once in a while, along with aid to the civil power, disaster response, etc. Not sure that, given ~40 training nights and ~10 weekends, that it's the highest training priority, and doesn't seem like a particularly compelling role to highlight for recruiting or retention.
Can't see, absent a real threat, airports being keen on air defence sites all over the place, especially if those sites are being used for training.
