Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, General Beare, for being here. It's good to see you again. I'd like to get back to your role in Land Force Doctrine and Training. With the reduction in the size of the force over many, many years--a couple of decades--it has been more difficult to put together cohesive units that live together all the time, and you highlighted that, outlining some of the patchwork. That's not a derogatory term, but there's a bit of patchworking going on for each of these deployments.
What extra challenge does that present to you? Do you see a day when, hopefully, in my view, we might have regiments that are in fact complete and robust enough to just be in that state of readiness more or less continuously?
