National Defence committee  You're absolutely correct. At this time there are 20 casualty management centres being set up across the country. Because the country is so large, we are victims of our geography. The reserve footprint is so broad. The initial centres are going into the regular force super-bases, so they won't service the reserve community totally.

National Defence committee  Good afternoon. My name is Brigadier-General Gary O'Brien. I am the chief of staff for Land Reserve. I am the senior army reserve adviser to the chief of the land staff. I am also the commander of the Canadian Rangers as a secondary duty, handling all of the reserve issues within the army.
