To be clear I don't envision any specific role for the military in that other than the more general role we have as a force of last resort. When it comes down to another department running out of capacity or capability to respond to a specific event, they will normally ask us if we've got something to offer. The biggest challenges in the north, which we touched on earlier, are infrastructure, geography, and climate. The fact that we regularly practise getting places and operating there is a great enabler for other government departments when it comes time to do something anywhere across the north. We are relied upon to do that in many different situations.
