I know members that failed two PRBs and turned out to be great Int Ops, they just needed extra help and support. "Promoting the absurdly incompetent to higher positions" and beer would make me drunk for a year or two.

Considering the small number of members in the branch, I think they are hitting above their weight. Selling secrets to the Russians, old Killer Kusec with the child porn, ASIC Command Teams being fired just to name a few.

Another hit to the Intelligence Branch.

CFINTCOM? Edit never mind, he is still a MGen.

Thank the gods they don't have one. Anyways if you are interested here is the link to their kit shop. http://www.silverstarkit.ca/Default.aspx

As of last week, I am now involved in the exercise design and will likely supporting the exercise portion being held in Shilo.  You are correct, all levels of command must start getting on with it. But this is not my first goat rodeo being held by the reserves and will not be my last.  

PPCLI Guy The concept of the exercise is sound, just the lack of forethought and planning that has gone into the exercise especially at this stage of planning process is a bit discouraging.  While the financial constraints of the exercise while does create some interesting challenges, money...

The plan for Exercise Western Defender 13.

I would have to disagree with this statement. I have known several Int Ops that have been embedded on patrols/operations in both Kandahar and Kabul over the last 10 years. It depends on what rotation you where on, how the Int Staffs were used within that rotation and how well the Int Ops were...

Thank you for the information, I was not aware of the Oxford Rifles and the Canadian Fusiliers connection to the RCR.

Can someone explain why the Royal Canadian Regiment is receiving the Battle Honour for the Battle of Detroit? I am not aware of any connection between the two?

Hello all, I just logged in to the game tonight and noticed I had -710 morale points. Last night before I logged off I had around 104 morale points. This has happened a few times over the last week or so.  Am I doing something wrong to have such a large decease in morale points over a 24...

If I am not mistaken, it is a long process of determining the requirements of new personnel positions, equipment and such. The process includes changes to UICs, position numbers, budgets/funding and such. There is a long of paperwork and staff involvement. I have avoided the process in my...

I think George is correct in his statement, based off fours years at CMTC I have observed many situations were the supporting elements are not used to their full capabilities. I would like to see exercises like RVs occur again however looks like we will stay to make do with  pre-deployment...

JeffB I think you might like this link on the 41st Regt of Foot. There is a lot of good history to be found here:     http://www.fortyfirst.org/ I know several of the researchers they have spent a great deal of time understanding the regiment in all aspects of it's time here in Canada and...

jside86 I am not sure if you are not aware however all three commanders  (CMTC, Base and LFWATC) in Wainwright are pressing this issue with various chains of command. There is a quality of life board (not sure if this the correct name) on base that is attempting to fix some of the quality of...

To Good2Good and Infanteer, I am not saying these are the first time those examples have been discovered or thought of, even captured in doctrine. I am saying we need to build up our current skill sets. I have seen two Maple Guardians in the last three years, were training was effected...

I agree, I have been there in the past. The ASIC does not have to be a grand palace located 30kms behind the front lines. However the capabilities of the current ASIC construct needs to exist, we just need to correct the known issues with it. Making it mobile maybe just as simple as placing the...
