The reason I don’t think it’s a CANSOF role is you don’t yet have an off the books method for hiding military. Even Assaulters at the Hill aren’t off the fully books. You can’t send military personnel to do some of the things you may need to get done. Spies are in a different...

I would suggest you also need a way to do more than just HUMINT, including some things Canada doesn’t like to admit occurs in the world. Sabotage and Assassination being things I think need to be available when needed.

I’d argue the Iranians had some of the best Lessons Learned from GW1 and GWOT...

CLIBG Oh now you know expect the CA to have a TO&E for a Light Infantry entity AND a LAV based one. Geez. Your asking for a lot. For years the only difference was someone had crossed out the LAV’s in the picture

Which is something that any lawyer or contracts person in competitors will use to suggest the solicitation was rigged.

I did that once. In my defense I had no idea that office (of the mutual Mustache) at the Pentagon was a SCIF But under this administration it’s par for the course. As long as didn’t mean to invite the wrong guy to the Signal group call… The Air Force has admitted in briefings that they...

Every vehicle was a CA vehicle other than the Senator. Yes including the M151A2 One may argue the Iltis was a downgrade. The LSVW definitely was a downgrade over the 5/4 Chevy’s.

I get that. I just think it sends a message one that it’s a CAF vehicle- before contract award.

Entirely not shocked -- oh look Putins wins again - you could have printed the article a few days ago -- the vote wouldn’t change...

Except that operation air hours in theatre are significantly skewed towards the F-35.

Most Vendors will see that as a major party foul. A Government entity promoting a non adopted system. Frankly if that occurred down here, they would be in for a fairly significant lawsuit if they won. Gen Milley (USA ret) derailed a source source JNA for Glock 19 pistol for the Army based...

Sort of maybe but maybe not Not mutually exclusive from what @Harris said. You need larger throughput than what you have. But having a legion of poorly trained/partially trained folks doe no one any good. There are a lot of instructional tools that can do EDI in a VR setup so the student...

The closest affiliate would be the ARNG. Which runs a 1 weekend/month (Friday evening to Sunday evening) and 2 weeks a year schedule. Basically 39 days a year Edit: Some units are now on a 64 day / year - but this appears to be a voluntary aspect (folks choosing to move into a higher...

I’m suggesting that the evening ‘training’ nights are just a waste of time for anything but social interaction. The goal of the PRes should be to have effective units, not provide people with a weekly drinking club. Right now the CA doesn’t get its money out of the vast majority of...
