Default Force Generation

If there was a dictionary specially designed and maintained for our ever changing military jargon and one looked up Militia, ARAF or NRD it would direct you to the term "Force Generator".

I believe this is now the primary role of the Primary Reserve. It may be a new term but it is an old idea. Always the poor cousin, the PRes will be called upon to fill up the ranks of the Regular Force. This even more so considering the latest operational tempo of the last 12 or so years. One only needs to revue recent changes and "streamlining" to transfer from PRes to Reg Force to see the "writing on the wall". Look at the last few months for the Militia units...forced to reduce parading and eliminating so many class B posns.

Old prides die hard... I used to wear two cap badges...one inside my beret and one outside.
