That's a great question.
We are looking at something similar to that in the establishment review, but we don't look at it in terms of a culture change; we look at it more as the governance by which we ensure that reservists have access to the training they require, receive proper training, and have the right employment opportunities on a ship at any given time.
It works both ways, though. I have to stress that the augment role benefits the broader navy as well, not just because we're helping augment them in achieving their goals, but also because the navy needs to watch the personnel tempo, for example. I believe Admiral Lloyd, when he was testifying previously, talked about the need to track operational tempo at the individual level to make sure that some folks aren't away from home too much, for example, or are denied getting on their career courses because they are required on board their ship.
The reserve augmentation role is part of the management of the overall operational tempo at the individual level. It's very much a benefit. This is a dialogue at the governance level to make sure the right people can cycle out of their ships in time for their career courses or whatever their obligations might be. Reservists theoretically can cycle in and can support the overall tempo management.
