The information requested by the Deputy is presented in the tabular statement. Defence Force Regulation R5 (new series) Reserve Defence Force outlines the criteria for retention on the effective strength of the Army Reserve and Naval Service Reserve. Paragraphs 39, 49 and 50 refers. Personnel who fail to meet these criteria are removed from the effective strength of their units. This is primarily for failure to meet prescribed training requirements. These personnel remain liable for call out on permanent service or service in Aid to the Civil Power.
