The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Jennie Carignan made headlines after it was reported that a new defence department directive is looking at how to mobilize Canada’s public servants as soldiers.
The directive, signed by the CDS back in May of this year, outlines how public servants at the provincial and federal level could potentially volunteer for the Supplementary Reserves (Supp Res) to help swell its ranks from the current level of 4,300 to 300,000.
