Hi, sorry to revise this chat up a bit, but I noticed recently at the DND public site that its mentioned that CANSOFCOM HQ has shifted over to Suffield; one of the honour guards for Remembrance Day is based there. Is there truth in this or is that some sort of detachment?

Wow! Definitely appreciated there, MedCorps!

I know one particular fellow who would appreciate seeing the cobra chicken immortalized that way. Right here.

One final question concerning the regiment's administration squadron: Your ORBAT split it into two troops (RCLS and RCEME) and a RCMS section. What would the numbers be in each group and which trades would be prominent? I'm sure among the RCEME group, vehicle technicians and materials...

Ah, thanks for making that clear. Appreciated.

Hi, sorry to necro this chat, but I'm curious about who and what goes into a CER's ESCC team. Try as I might, I can't find any references anywhere.

Alert should be next year's stated goal of Arctic penetration. Yes, there's no docking facilities there, but if the ice has broken up enough to make the transit safe, the next AOPS could use its RHIBs and landing craft to deliver supplies ashore. And a quick side visit to Hans Island to leave...

I've always said he should have been awarded the Cross of Valour for that one.

It'd be interesting to have any of the AOPS visit Churchill or Moosonee or any of the other ports in Hudson Bay or James Bay.

Watch: Ottawa is going to be repeated in this class!

So as a quick aside, what other River-class names will be brought back for the new destroyers? We got Mackenzie, Fraser and Saint-Laurent so far. Assiniboine's out as it will be used for the training facility near Shearwater. Will we see the international river names (Niagara, Saint Croix...

I'm a "he" despite my current avatar, but that doesn't matter. I use the term "tender" for Naval Reserve Division detachments as that was the term used pre-Unification. As you can read in the history of HMCS STAR here: HMCS Star - Canada.ca Lineage First of Name Shore establishment. Naval...
