    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    If you're talking about the Army Run then, yes. I'll assume that the usual assortment of HQ level strap hangers will be traveling from BC to Ottawa to run 5 kms on the taxpayers ticket ;) ;) https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/here-are-your-army-run-road-closures-1.7637301

    Medium Cavalry: Critical Capability or Poor Man’s MBT?

    My guess is the whole 'DFS thing' arose from the AFG experience. Anything direct fire is largely the realm of the Infantry/Armoured 'bread and butter' and therefore fairly short range.

    Medium Cavalry: Critical Capability or Poor Man’s MBT?

    FWIW... a good description of what cavalry does, as part of Congreve's obituary. Light, mobile, flexible and fast are all images that come to mind. I believe they used 'Honey' tanks in both the desert and Burma: The 7th was then despatched to Burma, where the scanty British force had begun a...
