  • The Feasibility of Providing Periodic Health Assessments to All Primary Reservists
    A STUDY BY THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE AND CANADIAN FORCES OMBUDSMAN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES HEALTH SERVICES GROUP JUNE 2015 The Feasibility of Providing Periodic Health Assessments to All Primary Reservists The Feasibility of Providing Periodic Health Assessments to All Primary Reservists June 2015 Office of the DND/CF Ombudsman Executive Summary For the last quarter of a century Reservists have participated in expeditionary operations in the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa, and humanitarian crises such as in Haiti and the Philippines, largely as augmentees to the Regular Force. Although it is almost impossible to predict the future needs of the Armed Forces, contemporary global conflicts indicate that Reservists will continue to be integrated into future expeditionary missions. Also, Reserve Forces are increasingly tasked during domestic operations such as providing security at international events and responding to natural disasters. Reservists are ideal for missions within Canada as they are located in communities throughout the country. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) depend on their Reserve elements for arctic and coastal defence. Notwithstanding the increased requirement to employ Reservists on expeditionary and domestic operations, it is imperative to ensure that Reserve Force members are fit to conduct regular training and exercises, which is at times challenging and strenuous. Universality of Service mandates that all Primary Reservists must be free of medical conditions that would limit their ability to be employed and deployed. Further still, commanding officers are responsible for the health and wellbeing of Reservists under their charge, and must attest yearly that their personnel are medically fit.

Zeroing takes into account the telescope and ballistics of the ammunition used in a particular rifle. This guide is linked to others in the firearms series. Note: This guide uses imperial measures. To convert to metric, measurements given in yards are approximate only and can be replaced by the same figure in metres. Measures in inches can be elevation adjuster for telescopic sight replaced by centimetres at the rate of 1 inch = 2.5 centimetres Basic principles ♦ Before zeroing check that the rifle, mounts and Bore sighting scope are compatible.
