Something I noted in the documents was that the percentage of PDF personnel who served overseas was maintained at 19% between 2020 and 2022 but the number of personnel who actually served overseas reduced from 1,607 to 1,550. If we are meeting our obligations overseas but sending fewer people, is it fair to say that our obligations overseas have been decreasing?
