Leaked Report: High Attrition Rate Among New Canadian Military Recruits
A leaked Canadian military report reveals high attrition rates, particularly among new recruits, due to extensive training delays averaging over 206 days for specialized trades. This is attributed to insufficient trainers, equipment, and facilities, leading to frustration and underemployment. The report also highlights the defunding of a key retention program office, hindering efforts to address the issue, despite acknowledged problems with training and retention by top military commanders. While some initiatives show promise, the overall situation demonstrates a significant challenge in retaining personnel, particularly those in critical technical roles.
