Ireland's Reserve Defence Force

Future Developments

With the restructuring of the Army still underway it is quite difficult to surmise what changes will take place in the F.C.A. over the next few years.A number of interesting points have been suggested.
These include:

1)The possibility of setting up a "two tier" system within the F.C.A., whereby certain units will integrate with their regular army counterparts while the remainder will remain much as they are.

2)The formation of an Aer Corps reserve from within the ranks of the F.C.A. has met with positve reaction, mainly from units located close to Aer Corps bases.

3)It is quite likely that in the future F.C.A personnel will serve overseas on United Nations peacekeeping missions.
