In particular, the inquiry was to focus on personnel matters, including Proect Suakin and flexible workplace practices. The DRA had been closely involved in consultations on Plan Suakin, before it transformed into Proect Suakin and then into the ADF Total Workforce Model. DRA members have been briefed at the DRA National Conferences and through articles in The Australian Reservist on this important subect. In a detailed submission to the JSCFADT, the DRA pointed out that extensive research undertaken in 2011 by Ernst & oung under Plan Suakin revealed that Reserve personnel capability would be greatly enhanced through better support for the employment of Reservists and enhanced remuneration by way of Reserve allowances and superannuation. Regrettably, from the DRA perspective, in implementing the Total Workforce Model, the aim of Suakin to develop a Reserve structure, supported by appropriate remuneration’ to provide the ADF with a highly reliable core part-time workforce has not been achieved. In its submission, the DRA articulated that the ADF Reserves are the only part time paid workforce in the Australian community not eligible for any employer-contributed superannuation and there is a moral issue with Indigenous Reservists, who are members of the Regional Force Surveillance Units, not receiving any employer superannuation in their paid part time ADF employment. The DRA also pointed out that there is no legislation, regulation or any policy that supports the premise that employees who receive tax-free salary are not eligible for superannuation. Any move to tax the pay of Reservists based on the current divisor (i.e. dividing the appropriate Regular salary by 365 to arrive at a daily rate of pay for Reservists) raises significant equity issues. Most organisations use a divisor in the range 220 to 250. Taxation of Reserve pay would require the introduction of a new and more equitable divisor for calculating the daily rate of pay for Reservists. The DRA submission concluded that whilst implementation of the Total Workforce Model has raised awareness of the Reserve capability, there is a significant risk that there will be little difference in the structure and utilisation of Reservists before and post -implementation of the Model. Further, the ADF has not grasped the opportunity presented by Suakin to optimise the use of its Reserves. Finally, the DRA will closely monitor the implementation of the Total Workforce Model and the proposed Defence People Group review of ADF conditions of service, in consultation with the Reserve and outh Division and the ADF Services. At the DRA 2016 National Conference, Chief of Army spoke about the aging Army Reserve workforce and that the Army Reserve recruitment process is broken. This was followed by a presentation by BRIG Arnold from H 2 Div on initiatives being implemented to improve recruiting and retention of Army Reservists. Recently, COMD 2 Div, MAJGEN Porter briefed senior retired Reserve officers on the Army Reserve Transformation Plan’ that aims to stabilise the Army Reserve workforce into a single plan focusing on opening recruiting pathways, aligning depots and demography, and making structural arrangements to better support training of Reservists. For more information, briefings on this matter can be viewed on the DRA website. “Reserve Forces at the Crossroads” is the theme of the 2017 DRA National Conference that will be held on Saturday 19 August 2017 in the Comfort Inn Airport International at ueanbeyan. Planning for the 2017 DRA National Conference is well under way, so please put this date in your diary now. For some years, DRA has been seeking representation on the Ex Service Organisations Round Table (ESORT), which is the main forum of advice to the Minister of Veterans’ Affairs. In response to a review then being undertaken by DVA into the National Consultative Framework, the DRA made a detailed submission in support of its position that the DRA should be represented on ESORT. As a result of the DRA submission, DVA sought further information on the reach’ of the DRA within the Reserve community. In addition, in February 2017, Immediate Past President, Jim Barry met with the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Dan Tehan, to emphasise the importance of DRA being represented on the ESORT.

    A-DH-200-000/AG-000 CHAPTER 8 ALLIANCES, AFFILIATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS CANADIAN CUSTOMS 1. Officially-sanctioned links can be established to foster continuous fraternal connections between military organizations beyond the close, professional relationships which are always encouraged. 2. Three types of official links are maintained by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF): a. an alliance – between Canadian and Commonwealth units or branches/corps; b. an affiliation – between two Canadian units; and c. a partnership – an informal bond of friendship (partnership) between a Canadian unit and a unit from an allied country, such as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Partnerships include "jumelages" (the twinning of Canadian and French units), "partnerschafts" (the twinning of Canadian and German units), and similar bonds. GUIDELINES 3. A Canadian branch or corps is one of the CAF personnel branches or corps described in Chapter 1. Its equivalent in the armed forces of another member of the Commonwealth may be titled as a department, corps or branch. 4. A Canadian unit is a commissioned ship, regiment, flying squadron, or equivalent. Sub-units shall not be authorized alliances, affiliations or partnerships. 5. Since official links create a social obligation to welcome members into each other's "families", they should only be requested if the organizations concerned are prepared to maintain contact over time. 6. In general, requests to forge these links may be made when: a. close ties and personal relationships have developed between units through combined participation in operations or training, regular exchange of personnel on exercises, special meets, parades, competitions, etc.; b.
