I'm currently researching the use of Reservists and part time soldiers in the military.

• What has been your experiences working with them?
• Was their training on par with your own?
• Was there any role they carried out that took pressure off your section/squad/platoon/company?
• What are the Positives and Negative in ye're opinion?

I'm trying to get insight from as many foreign militaries (ground, air, sea) as possible.

Please be constructive.
