Within the forces we're doing a much better job. Are we doing a good enough job or not? The professor may have insight into that. Certainly, the staff colleges have been an area of great investment in recent years, both in terms of the course at the major level and the more senior “baby generals” course, with colonels and one-stars and civilian equivalents. The really good news is that I talk to that latter course each year, usually networking in Ottawa. What I was really struck by in the last year or two is that there has been a much better presence of serious players from other government departments, including DFAIT, the RCMP, and so on. That's essential.
I would say the forces do a pretty good job. The forces are used to—like most major police organizations in the country—after-action reports and all of that stuff, but I think they're doing a better job of institutionalizing it now. I would say we're still at the starting gates in terms of whole-of-government, which is why the Afghan task force and all of that is so critical. That would be the first time, in my memory, that we've actually had the opportunity to work our way into something that was working on the ground and in Ottawa. We really need to make sure we don't lose that, because it's not in the culture of most other government departments.
