The officers are well-trained. For instance, my colleague, Brigadier-General Bashir, commander of the first brigade in Kandahar, received excellent military training during the Soviet army period. It may not be the same training we get here.
He may need to have some minor adjustments made, but the guy is brilliant. He knows the ground.
The officers are quite a bit different from the soldiers. They are educated, for the most part.
The big issue with some of the officers is that they've been deployed for the entire war. They're tired. They need some fresh blood too. We come in and out in six-month or one-year rotations, and we're full of energy, which has been sapped out of them by the duration of this conflict. We need to take a measured approach. So that's part of the answer.
As to how you measure it, a guy like me measures it by watching them on operations and from what I physically see happening on the ground. What I saw physically happening on the ground is what I've already described. But in terms of des données qu'on met sur une fiche, that's something that comes with the capability milestone system.
