That was your situation, hardly the universal situation. Your reserve unit was shit, that does not mean all of them are. Anecdote is not evidence obviously but I can think of way more Reg to Res CTs currently than the other way, however that said, that could be confirmation bias on my part as...

Gen Kill as fuck

Pretty sure it's only one Armour Sqn, no chance in hell we have enough runners in the RCAC to forward deploy a second Sqn while being able to keep up the training cycle. The other RCAC contribution seems to be the bde C/S 6 Sqn which seems to be a mix of RegF and ARes inf and armd. At least that...

Tomato tomato. There was a 50/50 split of opinion on it with the Regs I would work with. Some were on one side of your question, some on others. All I know is more and more Regs seem to be catching on, CTing to the MO in their home towns and working Class B jobs. Their lives seem to improve...

Currently I'm a "true reservist" working my class a days and weekends along with a couple LWOPs a summer for some unit and brigade training but I was a Class B commando for a while, it was fucking dope. Between a great workplace culture and fun work, I loved being a Class B Army guy. I fault no...

You'd be stupid not to be the class B reservist if you wanted to be a full time soldier without the bullshit. You get to be a full time soldier at the regiment of your choosing, in the position of your choosing, in the city and province of your choosing that will have infinitely more amenities...

Ramp ceremonies have that tendency.

This is institution is such a fucking joke lmao.

I propose the vehicles as div recce assets. Not passive cold war recce but a more second world war style recce in force which uses armoured cars, light tanks, jeeps, assault troops, etc. Ideally the reserves could provide the div an understrength regiment (2 Sqns) perhaps with the regs providing...

Respectfully, what does this have to do with the discussion of peer/near-peer conflict that this thread is about? This is about two uniformed armies in conflict. The rules of war apply here. If you bomb so indiscriminately that hospitals which are clearly marked both on maps and from aerial...

Maybe a future IMV for the CAF under the LUV program. The problem is the program requires a C&R (more likely Light/Motor Cav post-switch) variant that is absolutely vital for the Armd ARes units. The Senator MRAP would be waaay to big for those purposes. Honestly at this point the program should...

We should probably be avoiding the mass slaughter of civilians, regardless of the semantics.

I wonder if this has something to do with the cryptic instagram story by the Army, something coming soon.

From what I'm aware of our cars were diverted to Ukraine. I don't think the Ukrainian order was on top of ours.

I think so. Down almost a quarter of the original fleet if that's the case. Oh Lordy.

https://mil.in.ua/en/news/canada-will-transfer-a-new-batch-of-acsv-8x8-armored-personnel-carriers-to-ukraine/ Looks like another 50 ACSVs are being sent over. Unless this is still the initial order from over a year ago. We might need to place another order haha...

https://english.nv.ua/nation/canadian-company-offers-germany-help-with-armored-vehicles-for-kyiv-report-50412623.html Roshel is in my opinion starting to look like a solid potential choice for the LUV program. The 140 vehicles a month is an impressive production schedule for a company of their...

Rumour has it there are new AFV crewsuits coming. I'd love one of those bad boys.

I wonder what the badge/patch layout will be like on these uniforms. Has there been any indication on what NCM uniforms will actually look like?

Does Babcock bring anything tangible or this simply a distribution/marketing deal? I'm confused on what theyd bring to the table.
