Agreed. As mentioned, Afghanistan is one of the reasons. The other one is the transformation expanding the forces. But the operational tempo at the highest level....
Remember, as parliamentarians, you not only demand for me to talk to this issue; you demand for me to have effective oversight of my organization. That requires people. If you expect me to go out and visit to ensure that people are doing what they're expected to do, you need to have people organize that.
That doesn't speak to the overall broader issue, but it speaks to the fact that the operational tempo right now is very high. It has led to more full-time reservists. The number has come down about 1,500 already in the last six months. It's coming down even further as we bring the operational tempo down.
