Army Reserve Restructuring

[McG]

A simple example: A unit in three locations. How often does the command team need to be present, together, in each? Do the CO and RSM have to be geographically co-located? What is the optimal, maximum distance to exercise C2?

Why do we need that consolidated as one unit under a LCol CO instead of separate as three units under Maj COs?

At some point there is a CoC with responsibilities, that include being present.

Sure, but there is a lot of responsibility and authority specifically placed in COs. So make the CO a major and keep it local. You then reduce the level of familiarity that some LCol two cities away needs to maintain.

I was talking to a guy last week from one of those units.

200 'effectives', 30 attending on a weekend exercise...

I saw one as bad as 60 ES and 8 TES, authorized str? 180ish

Are STDs that bad up in Barrie and Owen Sound ?
