What does the Naval Reserve do?
The Naval Reserve fills a number of roles within the Total Force Plan. In addition to augmenting the Regular Force, Naval Reservists form Port Security Units, diving teams, Naval Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping organizations and important public relations tools such as the National Band of the Naval Reserve and the Compagnie franche de la Marine. Most of all, the Naval Reserve has the task of providing the necessary crewmembers to operate ten Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels.
