Colonel Milner, I understand you will be in charge of the rear party. What we heard when we visited base Petawawa during our study on Afghanistan was that even with a rear party, while the families who are associated with a regiment, who have a regimental family, were very well taken care of, the people from the service battalion, and people whose spouses are not members of a regiment, seemed to slip through the cracks. They did not receive their pre-deployment booklet that families get until well into the deployment. They didn't hear about all the activities going on during this time. Again, as you mentioned, the post-deployment, getting them ready for their spouses' coming back, is critical so they can recognize the signs that we're referring to.
In this rotation, what measures are you taking to ensure that fewer people fall through the cracks?
