They have, on occasion, been deployed as fighting troops.<br /><br />But instead of all these social/historical events they should also be undergoing regular training, with current model weapons, not the old Lee-Enfields that were de rigeur for almost a century.<br /><br />A little field training would also be advantageous, so in the event they were ever called to serve they would be better prepared.<br /><br />MPP Ballard could use some of the latter.
