Canada's top soldier says the country's troops are successfully carrying out their mission in Afghanistan — but Gen. Rick Hillier warned the deployment is forcing the military to make use of every asset it has.

But Hillier added that the demands of the mission are prompting military commanders and defence officials to look for new ways of finding personnel.

He said this included deploying soldiers overseas who were not originally meant to be sent abroad.

He also said more use would be made of soldiers in the reserve forces.
