The command badge for the army will no longer be a thing. They have already stopped it's production. Army members employed by other commands will still wear that commands badge, for example, any army member posted to the VCDS branch would still wear the VCDS command badge, same with CJOC...

The deal was altered. Let's pray they don't alter it further.

Direct from DLR 5-4 New Army Service Dress Project Manager: 800 uniforms issued in Q3 2027 for a major ceremonial event, with the remainder of the army being kitted out beginning Q1 2028. Keep in mind that for the CAF, Q3 of FY 2027 is October - December 2027. So we are about 17 months out from...

To be pedantic, full dress for the army is still the red coat. Most units just don't hold any.

Aha! So it is tradition! By a whole 7 years!

Those are the slip ons for the shirts, they are already colour matched to trade in the current DEU.

A couple more images that have come out, including a better look at the CWO and officer ranks. CWO rank insignia will have a coloured outline based upon trade. CWOs employed in a non-trade specific capacity will have an outline to match the jacket.

Well, rumour going around is that all the C7A2s are going into storage for the Mobilization Reserve.

Although I am neither in favour of or against changing the salute to the British army salute, the salute as written is palms down, and should be performed correctly. We didn't tolerate our honourary colonel doing a british army salute in uniform, and your unit shouldn't tolerate its actual...

It's not a british uniform. It's an updated version of the uniform worn by the Canadian Army in the inter-war period, which was unique to the Canadian army

I also believed them. I couldn't fathom how a non-operational ceremonial uniform could be delayed.

Fit trial occurred in Ottawa over the last couple days: Updated info on Sharepoint says a ceremonial event in 2027 with general rollout in 2028.

This is my point though. Outside of the Pte/Cpls who get to be a dude in a section in the infantry company in latvia, the only deployments are staff work. My trade means nothing, it doesn't matter if I am an infantry officer or a log O, or a basket weaving O, they are all GSO positions.

Augmentation above corporal is a joke anyways. I am starting PDT for my second deployment, I am a reserve Inf O, will I ever get to actually deploy in an infantry capacity? No, not until WW3.

Current discussions have the CARB as a 2 or 3 year Class C contract. The bulk of troops would sign a 2 year contract, spend a year training, then a year in the breach for dom/exped ops. Key leadership would be on a 3 year contract. There are even some discussions that all exped augmentation...
