My point was ze Germans had a better system to get some value out of people who objected to mikitary service.

If you have national service what do you do with conscientious objectors? Well for some that means they do necessary civil work. Ie life guards, hospital orderlies, etc. Your tax dollars already pay for those life guards what's the difference?

By bran h you mean corps / branches or do you mean army as a branch? Objectively not the case. People are proud of their branches and what they do. If you broke up the 3 regular infantry regiments and frankly wed just replace one tribalism for another, and have just as many people working in...

Not really though, the Div is purely administrative. An actual division that is concerned with all three CMBGs is going to be more hands on.

I actually think grouping the Bdes and giving some actual command oversight is a pretty important step forward.

If we judged every regiment by its most embarrassing members the RRCA would be banned from owning dogs.

Because since WW2 everyone decided reorganization and redesignation was spitting on their history. Look at the BCR - they have history as artillery and infantry, as needs changed their name and tasks changed to match the requirements.

I think my issue stems from the idea that return to heritage in an inherently good thing, when instead the question should be what is our most efficient way to deliver fires. I see this at the unit where its more discussion of "how its supposed to be", when this is an excellent opportunity to...

Just about every NATO army but us has the FSO / FSTs organic to maneuver, we're weird outliers. The Brits have "tac batteries" that are all OPs. Just like how our fire discipline is unique - which sort of affected interoperability but i digress. I mean in theory, but if youre not responding to...

There's a line between hopeless and rational. Name one country thats abandoned its F35 order in the last year. Denmark actually ordered more.

STA and OP troops will be part of the gun Bty. I largely differ in that I'd have the OPs in their supported units vs in the artillery regiments. The important relationship is more with the supported commander than with the gun CP who should be able to take anyone's data... if FATES wasn't ass...

Arty Bns are standing down OP Btys in April, establishing ATGs, while the STA Btys will be in flux. In 1 RCHA C Bty will form the nucleus of or LRPF with NCOs and Officers going off on probably HIMARS course to form the cadre until 3 RCHA stands up and 1 moves to rockets.

We're trying. Cabling is useful. Stuff like adapters to go from T7 / V60 to lav drop cables so guys can hope in a lav and get on comms without fucking around is great.

The way it's built it's going to result in a lawsuit

The solution to that is buying more K9s and simulators not buying something gun to train on that has little to no carry over for what we intend to fight with.
