So you'd have a REME workshop unit and a supply chain setup to support a reserve unit? That makes no sense.Tempest414 wrote:There is never zero value there are always pro's and con's. (sorry fantasy button on) If two brigades of the 1st Division where to be made mobile infantry with Bushmaster's then having three reserve Battalions with Mastiff and Ridgeback could be a good thing yes these vehicles would need to be serviced by the REME but then most combat vehicles are. My concern is that at this time the 1st division is going no where and will have little or no effect by making two Brigades mobile the division as a whole becomes more deployable and effective across the boardRunningStrong wrote:There's zero value dumping such equipment onto reserve units when it will be reliant on a regular army maintenance support and supply chain package.Tempest414 wrote: As for the UOR fleet of Mastiff's & Ridgeback's they should go to make up 3 Battalions of Reserve mobile infantry
The reserve units will only act to supplement the regular unit in all but total warfare. For that reason they should be trained and exercise on the same equipment so that they can work alongside their regular counterparts.
Bare in mind that regular units will work with Whole Fleet Management, they won't be using every vehicle, and so an availability surge is available should additional platforms be needed for reservist numbers.
