There is such a thing as full time reserves. However, qualifications should be identicle between regforce and the res. In addition, res are supposed to have 90-120 days to rev up before deployment, at least in the CF.

As for the article itself, it's pure BS. The US has been trying for decades for their Asian allies to carry a bigger load. Thus far, only Taiwan seemed to be stepping up, at least financially, but their training is inadequate.
