Developing A Surge Capacity For Canadian Forces

Author

Abstract

The Canadian Forces (CF) have been experiencing personnel overstretch problems with commitments to peace support operations, which have been characterized by peaks and valleys with the peaks creating unsustainable periods of operation. While the government will not commit to financing sufficient capacity to sustain these periods of high operational tempo, other ways and means need to be developed in order to preserve human capital. Through the application of peak load theory and the joint product model, this paper demonstrates how a surge capacity can be developed by way of substituting Regular Force personnel for Reserve Force personnel at a lower cost.
