communications experts and contract workers. These forces may be required from the outset of crisis and therefore should be readily available. - Complementary Capability is generally used in lower risk scenarios and conflicts and does not require the entire range of operational capabilities and training. They allow for an increase in the number of available forces that remain in a high state of readiness for the most demanding tasks. This also avoids the situation where they might be used in less demanding roles. - Additional Capability, which aims to support and strengthen the regular forces and normally require more preparation time, so their role during long term operations is preferable. - Mobility Capability, where the reserve forces offer a basis for expanding the regular force in case of mobilization when dealing with emergencies. 128. In terms of organisational solutions, Defence will present operational proposals for the creation of a new voluntary reserve force structure that: - is consistent with the new conceptual framework of enlistment and career progression; - takes advantage of training activities but also organisational ones, support structures and existing armed associations, especially in relation to the fact that the reserve forces could be recruited into state institutions in the event of extraordinary events ; - is regional or macro-regional, to minimize costs and link the reserve force structure to the region that it is based in; -be financed in the context of specific regulatory measures decreed by government when necessary to implement specific national needs, such as situations of crisis or emergency; -provides for different forms of reserve force , such as the youngest and operational, to be used on frequent cycles, or for part-time and specially trained personnel which would be used in less frequent cycles; - is open to civilians with the suitable skills and degrees. 129. The key to success for the establishment of an effective Reserve is to fully integrate it into the capability structure of the armed forces and to use it in regularly in tasks and training cycles. All of this in a system which is able to routinely use, according to requirements, Regular Forces and Reservists to cover a broader spectrum of national security and defence needs. - 58 -
