The army command badge will not be a thing. We will continue to wear formation patches. Imagery from DLR shows formation badges. Funding for the Command Badge was already re-allocated, which is why nobody is able to get one right now. They aren't being produced anymore. (no more uniform talk...

Which will be removed when the army gets its new service dress. They could save a bit of money and time for the troops by just doing away with formation patches on the DEUs.

The organization message for CAMO has dropped.

IOC for the LIR HQ is only like 30 PYs. The BNs already exist. And there will be PY growth, FY 28 (not sure if its 27/28 or 28/29, because the presentation only says 28) will have a growth of 400 PYs in the RCIC.

For now. The presentations and briefings on modernization naming referred to the Light Infantry Regiment as a placeholder name. The same for the planned heavy cav regiment. Some of the lower level slide decks (RCIC and RCAC) pitched the Royal Rifles of Canada and the PLDG as possible cap badges...

Based on all the slide decks, the purpose of the LIR will be to be that high readiness unit capable of theatre activation or surging to an existing theatre faster than any of our other forces. The proposed MRP for the LIR has one Bn at 7 days NTM, one at 30, and one at 90, and they rotate...

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...
