I agree it is a matter of improvisation. Frankly, that's what the Canadian military is famous for, all the way back to World War I. We were more capable of improvising, for example, than the British army units. I think improvisation is important, but part of being prepared to improvise is anticipating the potential deployment. I feel that the CAF, like I said, never anticipated that we were going to fight anything but the Soviets in Germany. I think that's reflected in the policy.
I will say that, during my career—it ended in 2022—I could see more clearly that the military took lessons from the Gulf War on not being prepared. Some of these were, for example, implemented during Operation Impact. I have forgotten what the one was in Libya.
