I have nothing but respect for General Leslie. I've never, ever, been given the impression that he was upset with me. He has given us recommendations, some of which were already in the works and well under way. Other recommendations are still being acted upon.
But I can tell you that our focus remains very much on having a modern military capable of multi-tasking. As everyone knows, we are in a much slower operational tempo, having come out of the combat mission in Afghanistan. That has provided not only monetary savings, but it has allowed us to refocus our energies on the priorities that we feel we have to focus on, and that is on reducing full-time reserves and protecting part-time reserves.
The standard we have had was 37.5 training days per year. Those rotations that were going through Afghanistan obviously led not only to a higher tempo in operations but also to a higher tempo in training.
So it's not really fair to compare the training days and the tempo that was taking place during that period of combat in Kandahar province to today's reality.
