Because we have to get away from buying 2000 trucks (all the numbers in this post are made up and for illustrative purposes only, don't get hung up on the numbers) one year and driving them into the ground for 20 years so the entire fleet is clapped out at the same time. We need to buy 100...

I would go a step further than that. Make Roshel the prime contractor for ISV-style/LUVW trucks. Have the contract give a series of requirements for the trucks (painted in CARC/24V electrical system/blackout lights/etc/etc/etc). Then leave it up to them to figure out where to get the trucks...

The treaty only bans anti-personnel mines (It's official name is: Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction). That's why anti-tank and off-route mines, while still mines, are not covered by it. Claymores may...

I think it is the other way around. During large collective training events (MAPLE RESOLVE/OAK RESOLVE/UNIFIED RESOLVE/etc) the Validation Authority was from the CoC of those on exercise (Usually their Div Comd). During the exercises daily VABs (Validation Authority Briefs) kept the VA apprised...

What happens when one country is fighting Iran/Iraq/Venezuela/Argentina? Do the other 5 eyes nations get a veto, keeping the subs out of the conflict? Or do the subs' crews get dragged into conflicts their government is otherwise not involved in? If the former, why would the Americans ever...

We always need more Signals Officers. Don't be afraid of the Army, we're friendly (mostly).

EW has much of the same problem. Like AD we all know it is important (in the abstract) but we never train with it. So we don't see the value it brings. Not bringing enablers to collective training events not only atrophies our ability to employ them in the short term it sets up a "What have you...

Branding is a big problem. If we aren't selling ourselves to the public why would we expect them to be interested in us and want to join us? What is a Sig Op? To a regular person that doesn't mean anything. Our trade names should be evocative of what we do so people off the street can...

Those are great questions but too big to answer fully in a thread about budgets. The short answer is the CAF has spent decades siphoning resources away from Sigs (and other support trades). The poor training, lack of equipment, and shitty leadership have caused us to bleed soldiers for a long...

We talk a big game about crawl, walk, run but then expect everything to be perfect and make a big splash the first time we do it. Was it super effective for the PTA during MR 23? No, but it was the first time, so that's fine. Just getting Army guys and Space guys on the same exercise and talking...

I was there, I don't think many people were mad, because they didn't notice, because it wasn't very effective. We should definitely doing more of this. By not training defence/immediate actions on jamming and other electronic attacks we are setting our forces up for failure. Wishing away all...

Hear me out, toboggan harnesses attached to the front of the TAPV. It allows you employ way more people with your limited equipment. It fixes the TAPV VOR problem. It is much quieter, so better during recces.

I think networks are encompassed in C5IRST.

Various HQs And probably Cyber Comd, or whatever it is actually called
