The Chinese do not have the force projection capability to unilaterally level every military installation on the coast. To do so theyd need to project a massive force through the JMSDF, USN and RCN unmolested as well as keeping the RCAF and USAF on the ground once they approach North America...

K2 is a perfect fit imo on the tank side. Lighter and logistically less burdensome than Abrams and far more available than new Leo hulls.

Why? Why demoralize the Reserves even further without tangible benefit? There's no kit, no institutional support, limited training budgets, crumbling infrastructure, a lack of communications equipment, poor quality personal kit and few plans for actually addressing this for the next decade but...

Wantedto tee up and see if anyone is hearing anything interesting on the CAMO front. Been pretty quiet for a few months it seems. We have to be getting into thr brass tacks at this point several months down the road.

Please yes. Of every variant haha.

They arrested a New Orleans cop on duty too.

Im skeptical of the cultural angle honestly. Can it be quantified? Can it be defined? Is the rightwing populism thats driving separatists a cultural question or a political/technological one due to the growth online of such beliefs? Im from about as far outside of the prevailing culture of...

If the annexation of Canada ultimately results in the nuclear annihilation of the USA, Ill call it a draw.

That is so fucked. Every accusation of stolen elections was probably a confession eh?

An all-weather road would be a bloody slog. Unforgiving terrain up there. Mostly swamps and bogs.

Quite a bit from what I gather. Army reservists in Canada regularly ride sleds and conduct patrols 100s of km North. 5 CMBG exercises in Nord-du-Québec from time to time from what I hear. Winter warfare is something we do well, lets take the Ws when we find the rare one haha. Ive been on some...

Thats a major problem from the reform Im seeing. The new doctrine reads div recce. The CAMO reforms read "wannabee tanks" in 2 and 5 CMBG. Its stupid af and I hope that is identified at higher levels.

If my grandma had wheels she'd be a bicycle. Divisional recce. Med cav just muddies the water but the doctrine pretty clearly identifies an ISTAR element that can come into contact and kill the enemy during enabling ops (ATC, delay, etc) and can conduct limited independent offensive operations...

Remember - only one reg div now. The med cav concept is basically div recce. If youre using MBTs for screens a flank guards is frankly a waste of tanks. I do think its a mistake that the tank regiments wont be supported by med cav regiments. Should be one of each in each bde. Read the new...

Youre backwards. MCAV screens/recces the bde advance and supports their moves by fire.
