Haggis said:Careful about generalizations. Reserve OCs, CSM's, Pl Comds and Pl WOs do deploy. It's been done before. It's being done now (KAF D&S Pls) and it will be done again, quite possibly on a much larger scale than we're accustomed to seeing.
A lot of Reg F rifle coys aren't much better off these days.
Ok, you are right. of the 2000 Canadian in Afghanistan apx 200 or so are reserve, and you've sited that the D+S PL WO is Res. (I have buddies in that platoon right now)
Thus far my generalization is pretty accurate. 1 for 2000.... heck even if there was 3, the point is pretty clear.... they tend not to deploy in such a capacity.
Roto 13 in Bosnia is an exception as well, when a Res Coy went over... and on the point you make refering to it likley more common in the future... we're looking at a Coy of Res at a given time... so again.... 1 Maj, a few Capt/Lts 1 CSM and 3 WO..... or about 1/3 of my Res Units higher ups.... multiplied by the countless res units out there... drops in the bucket....
