Well, I can only speak of 2006 onward. As you know, that was the time of the redeployment into Kandahar province, and that's where the operational tempo went up. There was the deployment of new capabilities, tanks, the air detachment. In every rotation we were putting somewhere in the range of 2,000-plus soldiers on the ground and, yes, it was a very, very expensive deployment for which, at the time, we believed there would be incremental funding that would come back to the department. That was not the case.
On December 1st, 2011. See this statement in context.
