Default British and Canadian troops are rostered to carry the bulk of the mission.

A loyal reader caught AFJ in a non-word red-handedness. In military use, rostered shows up from time to time as "battle-rostered"; that is, troops listed as ready for combat or assigned to a specific mission. But many sentences, like the one above, would work perfectly well if the word were simply cut.
