- Abstract:
- In April 2010, the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies (CMSS) convened a conference, Canadian Reserves on Operations: Lessons Learned, in cooperation with the Chief, Reserves, Canadian Forces and the Canadian Defence Foreign Affairs Institute (CDFAI). The CMSS would like to thank its sponsors, the Canadian Forces, the Security and Defence Forum of the Department of National Defence and the University of Calgary for their generous support of this project. This conference examined the current roles of the Canadian Forces (CF) Reserves in all aspects of Canadian defence, with special reference to the current tempo of operations. Military and academic experts from across North America discussed the challenges faced by CF reservists, within both their military and civilian careers and lives, especially the issues of sustainment and retention within the framework of domestic and international or expeditionary operations. Discussions between panelists and participants, especially several young reservists in the audience, were open and frank.
