Reservists can work well. Lieutenant Colonel Graham Johnson, commanding officer of a medicalregiment in Afghanistan, said part-timers make up 10% of his unit. The military offer a lot ofleadership skills and development at the lower level, he explains. And we benefit from theirclinical competence. But with infantry the situation is trickier. There are too few reservists,and many are unable to drop their civilian jobs at short notice. Regular commanders calling ontheir reservists could receive fewer than they need.
预备役军人也能做得很好。阿富汗医疗团的指挥官格雷姆约翰中尉称,他的单位兼职人员占了10%。他解释道军队提供了大量的领导技能和低水平的发展,我们从他们完善的医疗能力中获益匪浅。但是在预备役中,这种情况更为棘手。几乎没有预备军人,许多都无法一得到通知就停止原有的普通工作。正规军的司令认为预备军人拿到的工资可能比所需的更少。
The army has advertised heavily for reservists, and increased the bounties paid to regularsoldiers leaving the army who join the part-timers. But Britain lacks the legal and culturalapparatus to sustain a large reserve. In America part-time soldiers who fail to show up faceserious sanctions; employers keep reservists jobs open. By contrast the British TerritorialArmy, recently renamed the Army Reserve, has been a more amateur affair, regarded bysome as a drinking club. One London-based reservist, who has completed an Afghanistan tour,wryly said his bosses regard him as comparable to a maternity risk.
