So why is it restricted?
for example certain units have only Lt's and no Capts/Comdts which presents a difficult problem for career and liaison
Add up all the active reservists, comes to probably 3 battalions , now fill the ranks with the available people, if you have a surplus, you are over manned in certain areas, a shortage you need to either redeploy people to fill the appointments or promoted.
In the current situation the AR looks to be looked as a whole rather than isolated pockets of activity. That creates a level playing field for all and puts people where they should be , allowing them to do the jobs attributable to rank.
You could then justify running probably a 10% surplus across the board. Lower than Sergeants wouldn't really matter as these numbers in the past tended to be transient.
