5 retired members contacted an old battery / squadron / company sized unit of mine this week to enquire about coming back or if there was anything they could do that would take pressure off the unit, as soldiers, contractors, volunteers.
The fact you can come back and leave for nothing when ever you want will be attractive. The remunerations might not.
Quite what a spare RSM or BQMS will do is open to questions. A junior rank technician on the other hand is a different storyLast edited by Fantasia; 1 April 2020, 23:31.

So far"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Not forgetting logs support will be required and if reservists were covering some duties that will free up PDF with skills that are harder to come by
Also not forgetting that there is more than likely DF personnel who are confirmed cases/close contacts/self isolating etc ... just like the rest of the population
