This idea would be almost as much RDF overseas as the pilot RDF overseas (discharge from RDF, join PDF).
Encourage RDF members to sign up for the Irish Rapid Response Corps.
A week training in Limerick with Irish Aid and a week in the Curragh with the DF.
Some people skills / experience / training would be very much in demand.
RDF personnel who have completed DF courses in UNTSI (eg CIMIC and Human Rights) could be very relevant, other DF qualifications could be as well.
And AFAIK job security is your own business, can be short notice (72 hrs) and it isn't clear if it is volunteering or paid
Just a thought
