It will take years. There's a perception that the army has gone through Afghanistan with a lot of resources dedicated towards it and that it is in good shape coming out of this. That's a superficial view. What we have to be aware of is that we've been putting a tremendous amount of resources towards prosecuting a mission, and this has led to that increased tempo of soldiers.
We also were under-strength. If you think back to 2005, we had a number of units that were under-strength, so we recruited soldiers. Those soldiers are now junior leaders, the primary land qualification that you referred to, the master corporals. Those master corporals are our future sergeants and warrant officers.
We have many units in various occupations where we lack sufficient warrant officers and sergeants to bring the units up to full strength. In the future, we will continue to train those. At the same time we're training them, we have to backfill that base, otherwise we will go right back to where we were, to the hollowness that we had pre-2005. That didn't stand anybody in good stead—certainly not Canada. Our capability was not what it should have been.
The tempo is going to remain high.
