We've been over this before, but you cannot seem to resist turning any thread into a TAPV discussion.
The TAPV was initially conceived as a replacement for a number of vehicles that were being used to move people around Afghanistan. The Canadian Army (CA) had all sorts of small elements...
I am not a recruiter, so take everything I offer here with a grain of salt.
Check out 39 Signal Regiment. I think a chat with a recruiter would be the best way to frame your next steps. They can tell you what is available and what you qualify for. I am not sure how much of an interview you can...
I will try to provide some background to this as someone who was recently very much involved in Collective Training (CT) policy, planning and resourcing. The concept of Foundation Training (FT) applies to both Reg and Res. The aim is to ensure a solid CT base is retained regardless of Managed...
What targets are you trying to strike at 5,600 km with a Canadian system and in what context? Like really? Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should.
What we need are systems that can strike in the 30 km to 120 km range band in support of tactical operations at the Brigade...
STEADFAST DEFENDER exercises NATO plans to reinforce Europe's defences. Canada is participating in a number of ways, including the movement of the additional equipment associated with the expansion of our contribution to the eFP as well as the relief in place of the eFP BG (there is a eFP BG...
That a Canadian private company has business interests somewhere does not on its own mean that Canada has interests in that venture to the point of using force to protect it. Canadian companies that operate or invest in interesting places in the world do so with the assumption of risk. Canada...
And with the inclusion of Reserve Restructure this thread has checked-off the entire Army.ca bingo card.
I counted the Star Trek red-shirt as counting for dress - maybe that was offside?
If we are talking about the development of junior officers then DP1 (Developmental Period 1) formal training is one very important aspect of that but it is not the only aspect. I expect an Army officer to arrive at their unit well-prepared to discharge their tactical duties. They should be able...
I have served alongside some armies that only draw their non-specialist officers from the ranks. They tend (or tended) to have universal service. They also tended to have NCO corps with much less capability and responsibility than we do. Power was centralized in the officers. I don't think we...
I don't want to minimize the span of control faced by the current eFP BG - they have way too many sub-units of way to many types. Some of that will be alleviated by the shift to an eFP Bde structure.
Its not a full four-troop squadron, so its not a "square combat team." In future years there will also be additional assets.
The eFP BG and eFP Bde will employ their assigned elements according to their estimate of the situation.
The Light Battalion is kept at high-readiness, validated at Battalion level with a US IBCT at JPMRC or JRTC depending on the year. It has reinforcing the eFP as a critical task that will be rehearsed, along with pre-positioned equipment to enable its use there. This allows them to meet the NTM...
