Examining post-deployment care of reservists
17 February 2007
1 MIN READ
Over 250 delegates from 29 countries met at NATO HQ, 15-17 February, for the annual winter meeting of the Interallied Confederation of Reserve Officers (CIOR), the world’s largest military reserve officer association.
This year, the meeting focused on a study relating to the post-deployment care of reservists -- the results of which will be presented to NATO’s Military Committee in Autumn.
In harm’s way
The purpose of the study is to identify challenges countries face when deploying members of their reserve forces into operational theatres, and to identify best practices in meeting those challenges.
It is expected to contribute to the way NATO countries deploy in and repatriate their reservists from theatres of operation, and provide their reservists with the necessary follow-up medical care and administrative assistance -- particularly if the reservist has been injured.
“At a time when NATO’s reservists are serving in harm’s way in increasing numbers, the studies we’re undertaking are tangible, important and timely,” said Canadian CIOR President Capt(N) Carman McNary. “I’m certainly pleased we’ve made significant progress and moved the yardstick forward during this critical winter meeting,” he added.
Looking to Riga
The winter meeting also progressed a number of other important CIOR activities. Significant effort went into planning a professional development seminar for young reserve officers to be held in Albania in May, as well as a workshop for a similar group of officers during the summer congress.
CIOR will continue to progress its post-deployment care study and its international outreach initiatives when delegates from around the world come together in Riga, Latvia, for the annual summer congress from 31 July – 4 August.
