All good comments and questions... As things stand right now, please remember that we're looking at NST from a pre-IOC phase. While we have the concepts created, we are working on making that concept a reality.
Using the Class A framework is going to be the largest stumbling block we have, for many of the reasons listed above. Remember, this is not a surge capability. This is a deliberate deployment, and as such, will have a 6-9month lead time.
A set of IT (Individual Training) requirements will be submitted to all NRDs, with NAVRES HQ support. Those selected will be brought to Esquimalt 5 weeks before deployment for CT (Collective Training) to be completed on site. Once the herd has been thinned, and we have reached the appropriate watermarks for training, we will deploy to whichever port the ship(s) will be at that we're supporting.
Don't think of this as something for every port visit, rather something for the RAMP visits. We arrive 3-4 days in advance, we execute whatever force protection is required based on the threat and ship's CO concurrence, wave the ship off, and return home.
Again, we are in the trial phase. IOC is scheduled for the upcoming summer, and it is a proof of concept. There's a lot of moving pieces, both strategic and tactical, that need to be weighed off prior to deploying.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to post them here, or in an appropriate forum. I'd prefer to keep all of this public, so you have the transparency needed to fully understand what the team is going to be.
Cheers,
NST Team

My last parade night we had a briefing and a small portion of it was in regards to the NST. The NST portion was very vague. What I was told was NAVRES wants to get 400 personnel trained up (Primarily Class A) and from there NST will take a portion (70-100 was the estimated number for one deployment) of that to deploy wherever. I was also told there will be some training for NST run in early to mid summer and that there could be a deployment as early as the summer of 2018 to East Asia. Again, not much was said but so far it sounds like something really interesting.

There is no reason a smaller vessel 50' can't be stationed at any of the marine based Reserve units and be taken out on Saturday or even during the evening. A lot of the basic seamanship stuff is built around just doing it.

I'm an advocate of building another 8 ORCA's and stationing them on the Great Lakes, during the winter they could be hauled out of the water and put through a 2 month maintenance period. From Spring until late Fall they could ply the lakes.

I'm surprised no one is mentioning all the new things going on for the naval reserves. The mission of the Naval reserves will be Class A, Orca and new NST. The MCDV's are changing 40% of their billets to regular force this year, and the year after 100%. All class of ship will have 5% reserves at any one time in the future, mostly as back fills. Contracts up to a year will be given no more than two consecutive contracts. All members on Class B/C that have a year experience Class C in the last 5 years will be offered a transfer at rank up to PO1 and LCdr.

I'm actually going to claim ignorance here. As far as I can see, NAVRES is doing a good job of spending the money it has. The NRETS events are expensive, but that's nature of the beast; training people from 24 units across the country costs a lot in travel expenses. But I doubt those travel expenses, added up, equal the price of an ORCA, plus the infrastructure needed to maintain it.
Where else could we cut money from in NAVRES?

I think there's been enough trimming in QC that we can say that we've gotten to the point where there isn't really any duplication of function between NAVRESHQ and MARPAC HQ (i.e. IT, admin and finance services, etc). Everyone who's doing the minimal organizational support work in QC would just be shifted to Victoria, so there'd be relocation costs and no particular longer-term savings. The Fleet School in particular is now effectively just a classroom building and accommodations facility that can host courses owned by NPTG and staffed by augmentee instructors - not much fat to trim there either, and a useful bit of training capacity during peak periods.ModlrMike said:

Morning,
Hopefully I can provide some clarification.
NAVRESHQ is looking for 400 people, to determine training requirements, desire, ability to deploy, etc. These 400 people will not be trained beyond the scope of what would normally be expected for someone who is looking to potentially take a class B or C contract. They will most likely get extra resources to ensure that they are able to maintain C7/C8, Sig, first aid, etc. Intent behind that is to get as much of the individual training done at the units.
I will be releasing the CFTPO's for the team later today, through PCC(O), who will then source via PCC(Q). Working with them, we will select the 70 people who will be joining us for a 2 month contract for training and deployment to Korea, in order to test the RCN's capability of deploying a predominately class A expeditionary land force. While this is something our friends in green do all the time, it's a new concept for us, and we want to make sure we do it right.
The training and deployment will take place from 15 May - 15 July (give or take a day or two) and will be on the west coast. Should you want a contract for the remainder of summer, I've been assured that this will happen.
Hopefully that answers some of your questions, let me know if you have any more.

I've heard informal discussions of this, but can someone point me to an official plan / message / document suitable for those without DIN access? What happens to the KINGSTON class crews? I don't see them being whisked off and replaced with Reg crews all of a sudden. [lol:

I don't think anyone is getting "whisked" anywhere. From what I understand, the plan is for the individuals to remain for the most part in their current positions, just with new (Reg F rather than class B/C) terms of service. At that point, when folks are posted off their ship in a future APS (maybe two or three years down the road) they'll either be replaced by a Reg F member or a class B/C person depending on availability.nick21infinite said:

CT's are coming for Kingston Class personnel who want them and from what I have been told some, not all are taking them. The CT's are some time away and as previously stated some will remain in the Class until delta training can be completed and eventual transition to future fleet. Currently for some trades no further core crew SOU's are being given out however extensions are still being granted. I expect in regards to the core crew billets all trades will eventually be closed to personnel wanting them, with the eventual transition to an entire regular force crewing model with the exception of 5% (2 pers) being reserve on ship.
I suggest that any personnel looking for reserve employment call their career manager.

I think you're right, but the target is a minimum of 5% reserve crewing "across the fleet" - that's about 150 positions. Bearing in mind that by the time they reach that point they'll have taken anyone who wants to transfer into the Reg F, that number sounds about right for augmentee/OJT/experiential training/etc for predominantly class "A" reservists. I agree with your point that anyone looking to make a lifetime career of sailing should take the offer, though.Chief Stoker said:

The message says "WITH RESERVE PERSONNEL AUGMENTING AT A LEVEL ACROSS THE ENTIRE RCN SURFACE FLEET AT A
MINIMUM OF FIVE PERCENT PER UNIT". Now that being said more than 5% is probably going to be utilized as the NRD's do have a fairly large number of qualified personnel and they would be short-sighted not to utilize that.
At this time it does appear that long term personnel like myself will be employed to meet pension goals. I have already been contacted about a CT, however unless its something I want to take i'll continue with Class B/C as I'm 3 yrs away from 25 yrs full time. With the state of manning pan RCN it is my opinion that if anyone reservist wants a job on a ship and they can fill that job they should be allowed to do so seamlessly transiting from part time to full time and vice versa.
