In order to prosecute any operation overseas in a sustained fashion, you have to build a base from the soldiers who are recruited in the door to the units that will relieve those who are overseas in operations. It's a continuous cycle of training.
We have forces that are deployed somewhere in the world, wherever that theatre may be. We know they're not going to stay there indefinitely, so we prepare the forces back in Canada that are going to take their place.
At the same time we're doing that, we're still doing—if you go back to slide 1— the institutional component. People are being recruited by the Canadian Forces in the door every day. They go through courses in Saint Jean. Once they graduate from those basic training courses, they proceed into the army, the Royal Canadian Navy, the air force as appropriate, and our institutional system kicks over. We train them up in various qualifications, we put them into units, and those units go to the field, to sea, into the air, to do their training and build up through a road to high readiness.
When we talk about the road to high readiness, it's not a case of everybody in the army doing the same thing every day. We are challenged by our geography in Canada and by the diverse nature of our organization, so we have different elements in the Canadian Forces doing different components of that training paradigm on a daily basis.
