That's a great question. It's very key that I emphasize that, yes, the emphasis is on a solider in warrior culture but the family is absolutely paramount. The importance to us is absolutely critical. We make sure our families are also involved in the preparations to deploy our soldiers over to theatre. We make sure they're aware of all the resources we have, all the capabilities we have to help out from both the mental health capability and the family resource centres, and they have really improved since I was a commanding officer about five or six years ago.
We have a tremendous network and tremendous capability so if the family does have problems they know whom to talk to and how we can help them. Everything we do revolves around the family. It's not just the soldier. A unit is a big family. Everything we do, from parades to organizations, revolves around that family. It's not ever just focused on the soldier.
When the soldier deploys, the absolute focus for me--because unfortunately I'll be staying behind during this deployment--will be on the families. I will make sure they have everything possible that I have available to help them out.
We are improving--
