Along the lines with the Trading Saber for Stealth debate and the fact that Reserve Armoured recce is a completely different world from Reg Armoured Recce (necessitating the Res world to make up its own niche that is non-existent in the Reg world), this article in the recent issue of the Army Journal revived an idea I've had for a while:
http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/caj/documents/vol_09/iss_2/CAJ_vol9.2_10_e.pdf
Perhaps this is an organization which would allow the Reserve Armoured units to be of direct utility to deploying Regular Forces? It is a mounted role, and it gives the Res guys both a context within the Res world (supporting Res Infantry units on ex) as well as having a task that is currently being employed by the Reg Force. As well, it seems to jive with the idea of eliminating Res Brigades for combined arms battalions - something we've also seen discussed on these forums before. This organization could easily fulfill a "combat support squadron" within a Reserve Combined Arms battalion.
Oh well, just an idea - thoughts? Fire away.
