M. CANADIAN ARMED FORCES
- “They [the Canadian military] were low profile, they blended in beautifully with the emergency task forces, they participated, they had their own chain of command and they were well equipped and they did their task masterfully.”
Ben Tekamp, Mayor City of Brockville
-
Civilians need to know what the military can do and how to access them.
- A variety of taskings for the military should be approved early by EMO and then the military can decentralize and provide what is needed.
- The military was used too much on small taskings which could have been done by other volunteers (such as picking up small branches).
- The military should match their deployment boundaries to municipal boundaries; the military needs to keep itself up to date on municipal boundaries.
