Abstract
Canada, as most NATO countries, has recently been conducting a deep armed forces ' transformation. In a broad range, it concerns also Canadian Reserve Force. The reserve component is aimed at meeting NATO expectations defined in Military Committee's normative documents concerning reserves, i. e. MC 441/1 NATO Framework Policy on Reserves and MC 317/1 Annex H Reserve Forces. They state that reserve forces should at their utmost strengthen NATO operational capabilities, in particular in the participation in a wide range of crisis management operations. Therefore, a new division of reservists was carried out which enables distin-guishing human resources capable of participating in operations overseas. At the same time, the reservists' training system was adopted to the new spectrum of tasks, that allows preparing these soldiers to the career soldiers ' level of training. At the same time, the reserve soldiers ' social package has been made attractive, and employers ' support for the idea of their employees ' voluntary service in Reserve Force was achieved. This allowed creating a modern reserve service system, fully meeting the Ministry of Defence expectations. The Reserve Force has become an equal component in relation to regular forces, which is manifested in Canada's Armed Forces ' slogan "One Army - two components " The most forceful example of the Reserve Force's transformation is the fact that reserve soldiers have made up 10% of military contingents ' strength recently taking part in operations overseas.
