In the first instance, we need to fix the “hollow army”. I believe that's a term that has been used in many fora. The hollow army is one where you have battalions in which you may have three companies, but if you ever try to deploy, you could maybe get two out of the three to deploy, because of people who are injured or who are absent on training and other duties. So we need to fix the hollow army by making the building blocks of that army bigger. That's job one.
Secondly, we want to build more building blocks--companies, squadrons, batteries, and the like--such that when you want to commit one to operations, it only takes one to commit to operations.
Finally, we need to continue to expand the capacity around those things that prepare them, train them, and sustain them: our training centres, our schoolhouses, and the like.
So growth is definitely in our best interests to allow us to be sustainable just at the rate we're performing now and to take away some of the frictions of actually having what has been described by some as a hollow army in terms of one equals one.
