Thanks.
So what was the logic with the reserves in Canada? During a long war they'd serve as a cadre to build up complete units? (And, if so, was there enough assorted equipment mothballed somewhere to equip them -- I'm assuming in the case of the armoured recce guys in trucks, they'd have been waiting on new production AFVs.)
Or was the intent more to provide a pool of battle casualty replacements? From the little bit I've seen/heard/read Canadian reservists in Afghanistan are mostly going over as individual augmentees.
