So, concepts of a plan?

$75m divided by 41m Canadians is about $1.83. It's been a while since I have visited Tim's but I don't think that would even get you a large coffee, never mind the bagel.

HDFM & MCAV RFI Noah has details on the RFI for real tanks and baby tanks

Where did these numbers come from? The seem very made up/misinterpreted by AI.

I received no incentives when I bought my EV and my yearly registration is higher to offset the fact that I don't pay gas tax.

Then we don't need HIMARS on the coast. If you are worried about hybrid threats we aren't shooting at why waste the time/pers/resources to deploy shooters and their equipment? The difference is jets and drones can come be recovered. Every time we would launch one of these we would literally be...

No, MUOS isn't for use in the far North. It enhances coverage elsewhere. MUOS will deliver Beyond Line of Sight Ultra-High Frequency global communications to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) between 65° North and 65° South.

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...
