Even in 1989 2 RCR was in 5 CMBG with the Vandoos

I think we can all agree we have enough administrative formation HQs in the CA that calling this the Light Bde would be the least of our sins.

Well actually we onlu started blending types of units when we used the term Brigade Group. If you look at the Canadian Army pre the establishment of 1 CMBG its Brigades were single units types, if we don't include CSS. 1 CMBG being assigned armour, engineers, and artillery made it a Brigade...

I remeber some in here saying Trump was actually the tough on Russia president.

Or, we could call it a Bde since its a group of Bns. Don't tell the fire Bde that.

Where on SharePoint id love to look at it

And that's on monitor mass?

I don't think many of my Mob Remeber that however, its a bit odd to make that comments when 3 VP formed 2 Cdn Guards lol. And they were stood down 17 years later, and placed high in precedence because of a name that had nothing to do with a task, or history. QOR were a regular Bn more...

The Canadian Guards were always a weird concept. A direct copy paste of the British equivalent without the history. I don't know what the order of precedence is, but I'd rather see the Queen's Own stood up, that way we can have them host the Army run starting around Ridgeway.

We don't have regimental messes anymore so the silver is just in a display case. I don't think anyone really notices it anymore. What I mean is that a lot of these issues with SOB are things that mattered in the 1970s but no one serving had been born yet, its a different culture.

Yeah i just mean we aren't taking people whod other wise be employed in force generation.

Agreed on Sky Hawks, CG is summer employment for reservists and they'd otherwise not be working presumably. I'd throw the RCN's tall ship in there as well.

My experience e there was tbat we put the nominal in nominal role

My sincere hope is this is a sign we're looking at optics as an upgradeable program vs a once off purchase.
