The military authorities have informed me that the 65th Infantry Battalion (Reserve Defence Forces) has restructured its training schedule so that the six companies of the Battalion can train on the same night. It is the view of the military authorities that the change in training arrangements has the positive advantage of exercising the Battalion Headquarters staff weekly in a realistic command setting, something which the Battalion has not been able to achieve previously. I have been informed that only nine personnel out of two hundred and forty seven indicated that this change did not suit them.
