How many Navies procure enough missiles to actually fill all the missile cells on their fleets?

Additionally the report only states that L3 Serpa type holsters should be evaluated. In the decade since the Serpa bans started I am not aware of any organizations saying that L3 Serpas are safe, I could have missed that but I have not seen that anywhere. With the M17 I am tracking the US...

Its not so much if its a Level 2 or Level 3 holster. All Blackhawk Serpa Holsters whether L2 or L3 have the auto lock trigger finger release mechanism that is the identified issue that has led to Serpa Holsters being banned by IPSC, LAPD etc. irrespective of level. This is not a new issue...

Great. We are going to deploy and use a holster that FLETC among others has found dangerous and a primary cause of ND/ADs. https://www.fletc.gov/sites/default/files/imported_files/reference/public-information/freedom-of-information-act-foia/reading-room/training-information/holisterStudy.pdf...

Same is likely true in Canada if we are honest with ourselves.

Institutional inertia combined with risk aversion leading to excessive due diligence so as to avoid risk reinforced by limited money and excessive process have resulted in our equipment personnel or otherwise being outdated. This is the narrative that exists and it’s largely true I would argue...

I have not, but I would not be surprised to see some instances of frag penetrating where the helmet would have covered. Same issue faces plate carriers vs frag vests with plates such as ours or the US IOTV. Is active hearing protection worth the trade off of less protection? I would argue yes...

Sort of but not always. Take our helmets for example. The CG634 entered service in 1996/1997 and was the CAF helmet until replaced by the CM735 beginning I believe in 2020/2021. The CM735 has retained the overall profile and features of the CG634 and its main improvement is a 23% reduction in...

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Gevær_M10.jpg This is the Danish Army standard issue rifle set up. C8 IUR adopted in 2010. I remember handling and firing an IUR in 2010, while its a bit dated now still ahead of our C7A2. Elcan Specter DR adopted in 2020. DBAL A3 LAD with...

The 6354RDSO would be a good pick. I have not seen anything on a plan or intent to issue WMLs although that would be good. I switched from thigh holsters to a belt drop about 10 years ago and am glad I did, more consistent and stable. I have settled on using the G Code RTI interface between...

That is for overseas preplanned deployments on though not GRTF. Is the CA going to Class B personnel in the 3 Bns day in, day out waiting for a hot spot to erupt? I haven’t seen any indication that’s in the works.

Since this thread is titled “Informing the Future Army’s Structure” I will raise a question about the reserves fleshing out the GRTF in a larger context than simply the last JRTC Roto. If the CA is serious about the GRTF deployment timeline then we need to be increasing the manning priority...

Maybe? Just a Level 1 holster as I don’t see a hood etc. Between the thigh holsters and what look like a Level one holster I am not super impressed but it’s a step above the green issued holsters for the BHP. It does look like at least one guy is running the pistol from his belt so maybe it...

Anyone know what holster and attachment system the Army is going with for this pistol?

The Canadian Army still trains for combined arms breaches at the Cbt team level pretty extensively. It’s covered in both individual training on ATOC, AOC and combat team commander. It’s also rehearsed and practiced live. Most of the assets are all 1 CMBG although the other Bdes got the...

During the course of those exercises what trends has the Army identified as needing improvement and how are those observations being integrated into future force structures, doctrine and equipment? Yes the Army is busy conducting training but that’s not a useful metric of its own.

I was taught that you can’t delegate responsibility so yes in my opinion the RCN still owns the responsibility for it. Additionally people and organizations don’t operate in a vacuum, did the media company feel any pressure etc. from the RCN to ensure a specific level of diversity or was it...

Despite the NDA several General Officers, who are currently serving, have indicated to myself when I brought this up portion of the NDA, that they do not believe it’s feasible to use it. My understanding of their view is that it would only happen if it was WW3 and even then be likely to result...

You can fire non restricted on private property or crown land now as is subject to to local bylaws. It’s only restricted that you can’t for some unclear reason. Unless prevented by local bylaws you can shoot on 40 acres to your hearts content as long as you do so in a safe manner. We already...

That is my point, treat cars and firearms the same with cars as currently set up being the standard. I agree that the appetite is not there.
