Wow.... This exploded quite well while I was at Boston Pizza spending my hard earned $47.xx 1/2 days pay from last Thursday!
In anycase,
futhermore about the status of reserves...
So as I mentioned, I think it would be fantastic for units that are close together to have joint operations. A 30 min drive from my unit are 2 other reserve infantry units, the Argyll's and RHLI and also a Medical detachment from London+arty unit+arty unit that shares the same armoury as my unit (10th field battery)+srvc battl detachment...
I would say that's a lot of reserve force manpower and avail resources. Why not have some major joint-ops at Coy level based on new training in the 3 block war concept? Are these type of inter-operability concepts ever spoke of between regimental leadership or higher up? Or do they simply not see a need/point in bothering with that level of trg?
Also, anyone know of any reserve units that are "tasked" with being a local emergency response group? Can't remember the proper name but if your unit is "tasked" with it, you can take this little weekend course and be included in call outs for any type of immediate assistance needed... Things like the ice-storm etc... I know the Argyl and Sutherland Highlander's have this tasking, but not sure who else, what else and really what it includes...
Shouldn't maybe this extra trng for 1 weekend be included in all reserve units since we are suppose to take care of the home-front?
Any takers?
