[1] The report recommended that the Reserve Army be renamed the Militia, that the command structure be reorganized (divisions and brigades replaced with 26 militia groups), and changes in unit types and armaments (less infantry and artillery, more armour; coastal and air defence units eliminated) be implemented.
This was to better provide a partly-trained, partly-equipped force to act as a cadre in the event of a requirement for full-scale mobilization.
[1] The recommendations were generally accepted; the six divisions of the Canadian Army Reserve Force being disbanded and replaced with a larger number of militia groups.
The recommended training requirements were never properly implemented, making it practically impossible for the reserve forces to meet regular-force standards, and there were also challenges with equipment and morale.
All this took place in an environment where powerful voices, such as that of Field Marshal Montgomery, were deprecating the importance of augmenting mobilization ability (as opposed to maintaining stronger front-line forces).
