Organization
The two parts of the SuppRes are the Supplementary Holding Reserve and the Supplementary Ready Reserve. The Ready Reserve is to provide a pool of individuals with current skills and who have expressed a willingness to volunteer for duty when requested. The Holding Reserve contains those with less than current skills and/or more restricted availability. The individual commands are responsible for administering their own proportion of the ready reserve, while the holding reserve is administered by National Defence Headquarters.
