Lieutenant,

No offence but 45 days ain't squat to get a guy ready for deployment. In the CF, a reservist gets a minimum of 60, more like 90 days before they're sent out. For the IRF battalions, they get a lead up training of 90 days before they're declared operationally ready.

There are no ways to cut corners, especially about training.
