Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

[Infanteer]

The latest CANFORGEN with the GOFO appointments is interesting.
1st Canadian Division ( the new regular force manoeuvre Div) will have a MGen and two BGens.
2nd Canadian Division ( the reserve Division) will have a single BGen.

That is not correct. 2nd Division will have the same structure as well. The Comd will be a MGen in time.

Will that be a PRes MGen?

 

[Infanteer]

No. All Division command and deputy command positions are full time.

No. All Division command and deputy command positions are full time.

OK, I feel better now

Not because I'm dissing part time Generals, but because it shows the organization is more serious about committing the qualified full time resources to the tricky job of managing the PRes.

Just to let y’all know I attended an event where a lot of young soldiers were putting on a dog and pony show.
Those guys are great.

Umm, makee workee?

It follows allied practice for operational divisions (a game to which we are fairly new to). The UK does this, and US Divisions now have 3x DCGs. I'm not justifying the concept, only pointing out that we are not just making stuff up.

Well with all the kit that appears to be on order - the PRes is going to look like CMBG's - probably better equipped than the CA RegF CMBG's have been to date.

That doesn't answer the question.

I mean, that's kind of what it is anytime the public is present.

COS Support designate for 2XX is a full time reservist.

 

[Ostrozac]

1st Canadian Division ( the new regular force manoeuvre Div) will have a and two BGens.

If the Army is taking back the 1st Division name, then what’s the CJOC formation headquarters in Kingston called? Is it going back to Canadian Forces Joint Headquarters? Or is the Canadian Army taking on the Deployable JTF/NCE task along with the name?
