The recently published VFM of the Reserve Defence Force (RDF) has recommended significant changes to the Reserve Defence Force. A major re-organisation has been initiated which will see PDF units having Reserve components. This Single Force Concept will improve the overall capacity of the Defence Forces and will facilitate Reserve Units in accessing the same equipment as their PDF counterparts when training.
