As you've read, obviously, the air defence of North America is primarily conducted by reserve squadrons in the United States, the Air National Guard squadrons. The primary disaster response resides in national guards, which are controlled by the states but can be federalized at any particular time. It is really political willpower at some point, and the history of this country of late has almost institutionalized a disrespect of the reserves. They are there when we need them, and they make up 20% of missions when we go overseas, but that roughly 24,000-person force, also equipped, could deliver far more effect in this country.
When we look at the United States as a comparison, the argument has always been why we can't do it. There's always an argument: we don't have enough money, we don't have enough troops, reservists don't have enough time to train, and so on and so forth. Well, we should turn that around, and instead of saying why we cannot adopt that model, we should just find a way that we can. That's actually political willpower, and it has to be driven into the department from outside.
