chapter 2Immediate forces for unexpected or suddencrises requiring a quick response.Follow-up forces where a crisis is either foreseenor escalates and there is sufficient warningtime <strong>to</strong> mobilise reserves.Heightened force requirements where generalreserves will be fully mobilised in the event <strong>of</strong>a war <strong>of</strong> national survival. This approach isillustrated in Figure 2.3.<strong>of</strong> the Support Strategy is <strong>to</strong> differentiate betweenunique support required by operational elements andthe common support requirements <strong>of</strong> all Services andDivisions.
