Canada: Supplementary reserve of 300k citizen soldiers envisioned
cbc.ca"This country on a good day can mobilize three frigates and eight CF-18s. So that's why, I mean, there's a whole plan behind this. If we actually wanted to deploy this capability, how would we even move it to where we wanted it to be?"
That appears to be a problem. Perhaps the USA can stop by and give a lift.
I suspect the argument is for the forces to be available in house, at least for the near to mid term. Depending on how the n American auto industry turns out, there might be various military vehicles being built to transport them.
